Toured the E.M. Johnson Water Treatment Plant with @SecretaryBiser & discussed efforts to combat PFAS contamination.
Since coming to Congress, I've been working to rid our communities of these toxins & ensure everyone has access to clean drinking water.
Secretary Elizabeth Biser retweeted
ECOS has worked w/ @EPA for years to protect public health from widespread PFAS risks. Today’s federal action under SDWA is an historic first step that will require coordination w/ states & communities, robust funding, technology, and comprehensive public-private partnerships.
