Tonight US Rep. Riley Moore called for an EPA investigation into McDowell & Wyoming Co, WV water. We will continue calling for project funding, oversight, and water distributions until projects are completed. We are glad the word has spread beyond WV!

US @RepCarolMiller claims she needs to do some homework to look into the water crisis not being addressed. Something tells me the assignment is past due with a failing grade.
