House Passes Bennet-Backed Rural Water Bill
Bipartisan Proposal Would Help Enable Small Communities to Meet Safe Drinking Water Standards
Dec 01, 2015
Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet applauded the passage of the Grassroots Rural and Small Community Water Systems Act by the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill-passed unanimously by the Senate in June - will help small and rural communities comply with safe drinking water regulations. Bennet helped introduce the bill earlier this year with Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND). It now heads to the White House to be signed into law.
