ARA ACTIVELY SUPPORTS
HB 541
This important bill amends the Alabama Safe Drinking Water Act, ensuring drinking water utilities can provide affordable, clean drinking water free from PFAS, or “forever chemicals”, contaminants. HB541 would make sure that drinking water utilities across our state can make polluters pay for the costs of removing PFAS from drinking water, instead of us — the consumer.

This legislation would ensure that TVA contractors removing invasive aquatic plants are required to clean up any stray roots, leaves, or other plant material that remains in the water after the plants are removed.
