This legislation recognizes the fact that fire hydrants are not a major source of drinking water, and it protects public safety by ensuring that fire hydrants can continue to be produced and installed. Shower valves are already exempted from the Safe Water Drinking Act, and now this legislation exempts fire hydrants too. I thank Congressman Tonko for introducing this commonsense, bipartisan legislation with me, and I urge the Senate to take prompt action and pass this bill before the end of the year.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
