A Santa Barbara congresswoman has introduced a bill intended to help better protect the nation’s drinking water supplies from accidental pollution, as well as intentional contamination by terrorists.
HR 6121 would amend the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The legislation by Democratic Congresswoman Lois Capps of Santa Barbara builds on a grant program to help community water systems prepare for issues like homeland security threats, accidental contamination, and the impacts of climate change on water supplies.
