Sam Brownback: “A community in Kansas called Colwich receives their drinking water from private wells. When the county tested a sampling…”

On the recordJuly 16, 1998
A community in Kansas called Colwich receives their drinking water from private wells. When the county tested a sampling of the wells in this community they discovered that 81 percent of the wells are poorly constructed, 75 percent are improperly located, 29 percent experience bacterial problems and 6 percent have levels of nitrates greater than the EPA recommended level. Senator Chafee, as a cosponsor to the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996, is it your opinion that providing DWSRF money to the community of Colwich will enable the families of Colwich to have safe drinking water and will further the health objectives of this Act?
