RANKING MEMBER CAPITO STATEMENT ON EPA SETTING A SAFE DRINKING WATER STANDARD FOR PFAS

Statement

"After years of urging three consecutive administrations of different parties to do so, I'm pleased a safe drinking water standard has finally been issued for PFOA and PFOS," Ranking Member Capito said. "I'm looking forward to hearing from those who will be impacted by this announcement, including local water systems and ratepayers across the country, on how we can provide assistance for implementation. No one should have to wonder if their water is safe to drink, and it's critical that we get this important regulation right."
