Congress is taking action on the Wyoming County water crisis by introducing an amendment to a current bill that will hopefully improve the lives of countless West Virginians.

On Tuesday, U.S. Representative Riley Moore, along with Congresswoman Carol Miller,  announced that they had introduced an amendment to a current bill that addresses drinking water violations in counties such as Wyoming and McDowell, and he was pleased to announce that it had passed a key first step.

“I wanted to highlight the work that I did with Chairman Simpson on part of an amendment that was included in that manager’s amendment,” Congressman Moore said. “Myself and Carol Miller worked on language to shine a light on the ongoing water crisis that is going on in West Virginia today.”
