In the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Congress committed to ensuring that disadvantaged communities benefit from Federal drinking water and wastewater infrastructure investments.

The presence of contaminated private well water is becoming a problem nationwide.

One of the Biden administration's priorities has been to replace lead service lines.

Thank you again for your presence, and thank you for your testimony today.

As part of that mission, NACWA has long advocated for the Federal Government to recommit to a full and reliable partnership with local communities to invest in and build critical water infrastructure.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which I think I can speak for my colleagues and I here, is one of the things we are proudest of that we have worked on in our lives.

Do you think it is important for Congress to fully fund the resiliency program created in the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act?

It is a shared responsibility. We all have a role to play.

Without water, we don't have anything, we don't have life, we don't have a good quality of life.

Our hope is with the implementation of the Bipartisan Water and Wastewater legislation that we passed that we are going to be doing a better job at the Federal level of meeting our responsibilities on this front.

treat other people the way we want to be treated, which is really what we try to do with this legislation.
