NACWA applauds the reintroduction of the WIPPES Act to establish nationwide labeling for non-flushable wipes. These wipes harm sewer systems, damage equipment, and pose public health and environmental risks. We look forward to working with Congress to advance this important bill.

Today’s decision is a “major victory” for clean water investment, NACWA CEO Adam Krantz said in a statement. The decision helps ensure the Clean Water Act does exactly what Congress intended: keep our nation’s waters clean & healthy with clear, science-based requirements.

NACWA thanks Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) & Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-Utah), co-sponsors of the Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act. This legislation would give PFAS liability protections to water utilities under CERCLA, ensuring that polluters, not the public, pay for PFAS cleanup.

1,600+ wastewater utilities have pretreatment programs, which are designed to prevent chemicals from entering waste streams. EPA standards would strengthen their ability to hold the ultimate polluters responsible, NACWA CEO Adam Krantz explains in this article: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/c...
