FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER EDITORIAL: “People deserve to have confidence in the water they drink, and this strong action by the Biden-Harris administration positively impacts state efforts to protect water quality and public health.”

No family should have to worry if a loved one is safe drinking tap water. That is why Democrats from the legislature to the White House have been fighting to clean up “forever chemicals” like Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) toxins. North Carolina State Senator, Kirk deViere, who represents Cumberland County penned an op-ed celebrating the $10 billion in grants that President Biden and lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans passed as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This marks the single largest investment in water that the federal government has ever made.
