Issue Position: Upholding Clean Water

Issue Position

Contaminated drinking water is not a new issue for our district. Our local fire fighters and volunteer groups have gone over and above the line of duty to ensure that our families have access to clean water. As your Representative, I will take this issue to the Capitol. We need to ensure that our people have a reliable water supply, effective water treatment and fast clean up.

Pikeville and the Mountain Water District were in crisis as recently as this February, when freezing weather brought power outages and depleted water supplies. Our local teams worked tirelessly to right the situation, but residents still found it difficult to access clean water.
