Wipes don't belong in the toilet and the price tag proves it. Congress needs to enact the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act (S.1092/H.R.2269) to put an end to the damage. 🚽

Recent events at the Winter Olympics proves one thing: protecting the environment and our waterways starts upstream, not at the end of the pipe or even the slopes.
Three Olympic athletes were disqualified from competition after PFAS were found in their ski wax. But wastewater utilities deal with PFAS entering their systems every day from a wide range of consumer and industrial sources.
Wastewater utilities don’t produce PFAS, yet they are increasingly responsible for treatment, compliance, and the significant costs that eventually fall on ratepayers. The real solution to the PFAS problem is source control, manufacturer accountability, sustainable funding, and policies that don’t shift the burden to local utilities. It’s time to hold manufacturers accountable to Olympic standards. https://nyti.ms/4kKbhma
Three Olympic Athletes Were Just Disqualified for a Novel Reason: PFAS (Gift Article) Their skis and snowboards tested positive for “forever chemicals,” slippery-but-dangerous chemicals now banned in the Games.
As the Super Bowl nears, the NACWA staff have made their predictions. From bold selections to a few surprises, the team has shared their picks ahead of kickoff. 🏈
