Plain-English Summary

The military would be required to provide clean drinking water to households whose private wells have been contaminated with PFOS and PFOA chemicals—toxic substances that can leak from military bases and facilities. This would ensure families affected by Department of Defense activities don't have to pay for bottled water or water treatment systems on their own. The bill specifically targets contamination caused by military operations rather than other sources.
