I wanted to ask you, you noted in your testimony that 92 percent of water systems meet all health standards, but unfortunately we have no standard for dangerous contaminants.

I hope we can agree that that is a problem.

The CLEAN Future Act... invests $45 billion over 10 years to replace all lead service lines.

These are not controversial things. They are fundamental government services that today local governments are struggling to provide.

This is unacceptable. And Congress knows that it is unacceptable.

the legislation we are considering today can help.

We know that the environmental justice communities bear a disproportionate burden of harm from pollution.

This moment of crisis provides us an opportunity to invest in our country, making us stronger, cleaner, healthier, and better off.

Bipartisan support for strengthening protections against lead and PFAS can point the way towards greater consensus on strengthening the law to provide safer water for all.

As we consider how to make our economic recovery robust and equitable, supporting our long-neglected water systems must be a cornerstone of that effort, because the needs are indeed immense.

The AQUA Act, which you sponsored, Chairman Tonko, and you mentioned it, would go further and take steps to fix the standard setting process for all contaminants.

Access to safe drinking water is essential to our health and prosperity as a Nation.
