Quiver AI Summary

This legislation aims to fund municipal water treatment facilities for the removal of PFAS, also referred to as "forever chemicals," from drinking water.
The PURE Water Act intends to alleviate the financial burden on local governments and enhance public health, as PFAS are linked to serious health issues. Representative Scholten emphasized the urgent need for local communities to access clean drinking water, while Representative Fitzpatrick stated the bill aims to hold polluters accountable instead of taxpayers.
