A bill to require the provision of alternative drinking water to households whose private drinking water is contaminated with perfluorooctanesulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid substances from activities of the Department of Defense.

This bill requires the Department of Defense to provide alternative drinking water to households with private wells contaminated by PFOS/PFOA chemicals from military activities. It applies to households downgradient from a military base where contamination exceeded EPA safety levels, and where other nearby households in the same community already receive assistance. Alternative water options include bottled water, connection to public systems, or home filtration systems. Exceptions apply if the community already has municipal water or if EPA actions have already resolved the contamination. The law ensures DoD coordination with existing environmental cleanup authorities like CERCLA.
