David McKinley, R-D-1, urged the head of the Environmental Protection Agency to address the elevated levels of lead found in the drinking water of homes served by city water. "We were concerned to learn of the elevated levels of lead in drinking water in certain homes in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Ensuring the safety of all of the citizens of West Virginia is of the utmost importance to us. We write to request immediate assistance from the Environmental Protection Agency in providing support for residents served by the Clarksburg Water System (âthe Systemâ) as the System works to comply with the Emergency Administrative Order (âEmergency Orderâ) issued by the Agency and the notice of violation issued by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WVDHHR)," reads the letter from lawmakers to EPA Administrator Michael Regan.
