Wyden, Padilla, Schatz Announce Coordinated Effort to Tackle America's Drinking Water Crisis

Press Release

"Clean drinking water is a human right, and it is unacceptable that anyone in this great nation is struggling to access clean water. Yet, families and communities across America continue to fall between the cracks and face significant threats to safe, affordable, and reliable water supplies. As Committee and Subcommittee chairs with jurisdiction over water access, we are committed to addressing America's drinking water crisis. By bringing together panels of experts who possess a comprehensive understanding of these challenges, we and the Congress at large will gain valuable insights, and hear recommendations, that can help overcome both short- and long-term water access challenges. Our shared goal is to emerge from these hearings with concrete and actionable solutions that can effectively address water access issues in the United States."
