APWA and Coalition Partners Send Support Letter for WIPPES Act Ahead of Committee Markup

Dear Chairman Guthrie and Ranking Member Pallone:

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express support for the bipartisan Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act (H.R.2269) and respectfully request that this letter be included in the April 8, 2025, Committee on Energy and Commerce markup’s record. H.R. 2269 takes a straightforward and reasonable approach to addressing the preventable problems stemming from the improper disposal of non-flushable wipes in the nation’s wastewater systems. Last Congress, the committee reported out the legislation on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis. We urge the same bipartisan support for H.R. 2269.
