“Most Americans take safe drinking water for granted, the terrible truth is that, in the United States, the health of millions of men, women, and children is made vulnerable by their reliance on possibly contaminated water supplies.” U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd said in a statement released August 6.

“Contamination can come from many sources... within the state we have such a need for small water systems, it’s desperate. Senator Byrd is working very hard to obtain services for us. He is aware of the vast need in rural America for these services... NESC fields 50,000 to 60,000 calls from small communities yearly." said John Mori, executive director for the National Environmental Services Center (NESC) in Morgantown, West Virginia.
