The new @EPA #PFAS rule is stronger than the 11 existing state #DrinkingWater standards including #Massachusetts & adds two newer #ForeverChemicals (#PFBS & #GenX). We look forward to @MassDEP integrating this & expanding ours to further protect #PublicDrinkingWater. @MassEEA
Safe drinking water is fundamental to healthy people and thriving communities. EPA is establishing the first-ever, nationwide, legally enforceable drinking water standards to protect communities from #PFAS, known as #ForeverChemicals. https://t.co/WAK0aiIqjV

As #ClimateChange brings more extreme weather to MA, our essential water resources will experience unprecedented stress. Passing @JoanMeschino, @JamieEldridgeMA & @SenBruceTarr's bill to support science-based drought policy statewide is a common-sense step we can take to prepare.
