Community Right-to-Know Arsenic Risk Act

The Community Right-to-Know Arsenic Risk Act (S. 796) would require local water utility companies to include specific information about arsenic in their annual water quality reports. These reports, which are sent to all customers, would be updated to include an educational statement explaining the potential health risks associated with arsenic levels in the drinking supply. The goal of the bill is to ensure that citizens are better informed about the safety of their tap water so they can make more educated decisions regarding their health and household water use.
