Wednesday, April 10, 2024

United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus hailed the final rule announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this morning to protect our nation’s drinking water supply as a critical step towards ensuring clean and safe water for all Americans:

“For generations, the plumber has protected the health of the nation and worked to deliver clean and safe water to our communities. This legally enforceable drinking water standard will ensure that we continue our essential work and remove deadly PFAS contaminants from our water supply,” said Mark McManus, General President of the United Association. “The Biden Administration is committed to protecting public health and making sure all infants and children can grow up without the deadly scourge of these forever chemicals. At the United Association, our members are incredibly proud of the work we do each and every day to achieve that goal. We look forward to our continued partnership with the EPA and the Biden Administration to deliver a future where clean and safe water, free from PFAS and other contaminants, is the norm.”
