Thursday’s Top of the Scroll: EPA And Lawmakers Call Lack of Clean Drinking Water Unacceptable
From Capital Public Radio:
The Environmental Protection Agency says California is violating the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The EPA says the state’s Department of Public Health has failed to spend nearly a half billion dollars in federal money to provide safe drinking water.
It’s estimated the state will have to spend 40 billion dollars over the next two decades to fix the problem.
Some lawmakers are outraged by what they see as a bureaucratic nightmare within the Department of Public Health.
