Alert: Water Additive Accountability Bill

Water operators, water districts and other entities that hold the responsibility of stewardship of our precious drinking water resources have asked that you help enact this protective legislation.  

Arkansas rules and regulations already establish protective standards for the chemicals that are added to the water to improve potability. However, manufacturers of these additives that are intended to treat humans, rather than the water, have largely ignored requests for more detailed information so that a water district is frequently persuaded to make a selection of a product based on the pressure to proceed with the public policy of adding a substance to treat humans without establishing full accountability, full disclosure of content, extent of contamination and full compliance with all laws and regulations.   

 Senator Bryan King has submitted Senate Bill 255. The Water Additive Accountability Bill, which clarifies that copies of documents already required for manufacturers to merit certification of their product are disclosed and made fully available to the water district and consumers, along with a manufacturer’s declaration that they are accountable for their product fulfilling the safety and effectiveness claims made for the public policy. 

The legislation that responsible water suppliers have proposed is intended to move past endorsements of the public policy and clarify law to assure accountability for the persuasive claims of adding a substance to our public drinking water; full disclosure of an additive’s contents and contaminants so there are no surprises; compliance with details of all rules, regulations, and laws intended to protect the consumer; and to assure conformance with already-established industry standards.

Secure Arkansas supports this bill with no reservations and asks that you help with getting this great piece of legislation passed.  

Please write, call or fax your legislators and tell them that you support Senate Bill 255, the bill that assures that the water district and all consumers have accountability and full disclosure for the products you drink and bathe or shower in every day.
