Access to clean water and to affordable water is essential to saving lives and stopping the spread of COVID-19. No one deserves, Mr. Speaker, to die because they are too poor to afford water. In my district alone, thousands of low-income households began this pandemic with their water shut off. Just think about it. You are being told to wash your hands 10 times a day but you can't have access. In the richest country in the world, 15 million people cannot wash their hands during this pandemic. I thank my colleagues for supporting this bill.
