The American Farm Bureau Federation is concerned how the Environmental Protection Agency’s new drinking water standards could impact rural communities.
Government Affairs Director Courtney Briggs tells Brownfield, “We do think that there needs to be a standard, but this is an incredibly hard level to meet.”
“We are particularly worried about how this is going to impact rural water community utilities that are going to have to pass on the cost of this rule to their ratepayers,” she says.
