WASHINGTON – Congressman Antonio Delgado (D, NY-19), Thursday, announced his support for a resolution that would establish an online EPA tool to monitor individual well water.
Speaking on the House Floor, the freshman lawmaker said the measure would provide a major benefit for those who use private wells for drinking water. “This tool will empower our communities and assure them that they are drinking water that is clean of toxic chemicals,” he said. “I will keep championing work at the federal level under the Clean Water Act, and more. At the same time, we can make sure our communities have the tools to feel safe when using well water.”
The resolution is sponsored by Rep. Daniel Kildee of Michigan. Delgado is one of four co-sponsors.
