Clean water can be addressed now

In addition to long-term infrastructure funding, we need street-level solutions to bring clean water to our residents NOW. This can be done through HB 69.

“…this will address issues directly on the ground for individuals that need help now and cannot wait until infrastructure reaches them. HB 69 can act as a stopgap to help these families on the ground to get clean water. And, literally, (DPH) said they could have the filtration system on their home a month after they recognize the problem.”

Rep. Shupe added that the two pieces of legislation can work together.
“What HB 69, in my opinion, does (is) acts as a partner with HB 200 to say, ‘HB 200 is great (for) fixing these large-scale problems that we’ve had for decades with our water issues. HB 69 will help these individuals on the ground level get water-filtration systems in their homes while they are waiting for that infrastructure to get in place.’”
