Environment America thanks the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change for holding the subcommittee hearing on the CLEAN Future Act and Drinking Water: Legislation to Ensure that Our Drinking Water is Safe and Clean on May 25th. Several pieces of legislation before the subcommittee take crucial steps to address key pollution threats facing America’s drinking water, including PFAS and lead. In particular, Environment America is thrilled to see multiple proposals to fully fund the removal of all lead service lines. In addition, we ask the subcommittee to consider dramatically stronger initiatives to stop the pervasive lead contamination of water at schools, parks, and child care facilities across the country.
