Moore’s amendment to address the the drinking water crisis in the Southern Coalfields of West Virginia passed the House Appropriations Committee. Congressman Moore worked in conjunction with Congresswoman Carol Miller on this important amendment. Specifically, the amendment directs the EPA to brief Congress on the federal resources available to communities, including Wyoming and McDowell Counties, that have high prevalence of violations of drinking water regulations. Rep. Moore and Rep. Miller issued the following statement: “Clean drinking water is a necessity, but tragically, some communities in West Virginia struggle to access this basic need. Our amendment that passed the House Appropriations Committee today will help us identify and deliver real solutions to this water crisis in the Southern Coalfields. No parent should ever have to wonder how they’re going to ensure their kids have water to drink or bathe in. We are committed to doing everything in our power to help these communities dealing with this terrible situation.” Watch Congressman Moore’s remarks on the amendment during today’s markup here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:40:33Z |
