Schatz, Murkowski Lead Oversight Hearing on Water Access in Native Communities

Press Release

"For too many Native communities, the total lack of access to clean and safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an everyday reality. Ensuring water access is not just the right thing to do, it's the federal government's trust and treaty responsibility. It's our legal obligation -- not just to reserve water rights -- but to live up to our promises and take affirmative steps to secure this access to the best of our ability."
