DELAWARE – Lawmakers aim to address the lack of drinkable water in under-served communities throughout the state. House Bill 69, also known as the water purification act would provide purification systems for households whose water isn’t drinkable.
The bills primary sponsor told 47 ABC, legislation has dealt with many issues involving drinkable water for all Delaware residents, and this just might be the year they’re able to do something about it.
“There needs to be an intermediate solution to these families that are still using this water every day for bathing, drinking, cooking their food,” says Delaware Representative Bryan Shupe.
