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.

Happening Now: Senate EPW Committee hearing on Jessica Kramer’s nomination to lead EPA’s Office of Water. She emphasized the need for clear, unambiguous regulations and that polluters should pay, especially when addressing PFAS contamination. Watch live: bit.ly/4iGVQsT

Now more than ever, we must push for policies that support infrastructure resilience, affordability and water security (3/3)

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.
