Statement by Congressman Kildee on EPA’s Proposed PFAS Drinking Water Standards

FLINT—Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-08), co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force, issued the following statement following the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new proposed drinking water standards for six types of PFAS:

"Access to safe, affordable and reliable drinking water should be a right, not a luxury.

"For far too long, the federal government has not acted to protect the American people from PFAS chemicals in our drinking water. After past presidents have failed to act, I applaud President Biden and his administration for proposing stronger drinking water standards.

"As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force, I will continue working with Republicans and Democrats to protect families from PFAS."
