Speak Up: Delaware lawmakers talk improving access to clean drinking water
Posted
In a developed country like America, all citizens having access to clean and safe drinking water seems like a given. The reality is that, in some cases, outdated infrastructure, environmental contaminants or both mean the water that comes out of the kitchen tap is not necessarily safe to drink. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons, both D-Del., Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., met for the two-part hearing examining the challenges that small, disadvantaged and rural communities face in accessing and maintaining drinking-water services.
