Grace Napolitano: “The "dirty water rule" would have led to higher water bills for American families and businesses.”

Clean water was not always a partisan issue, and no issue has more support among American families than the protection of our nation's waters.

I believe the Supreme Court purposely chose to substitute its own philosophy over decades-old, legally grounded efforts to protect water quality.

We should recognize the familiarity and workability of the historic Clean Water Act and get on with the preservation of the health of our economy as well as that of our communities.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
