LA CRESCENTA, CALIFORNIA - U.S. Representative Laura Friedman (CA-30) toured the Crescenta Valley Water District, which serves communities in the northern part of her district. Roughly 30,000 to 35,000 residents receive clean water from this facility, including those in the communities of La Crescenta, Montrose, Verdugo, and a small portion of La Cañada-Flintridge.

"Access to clean water is something I've been fighting for my entire career because every single American deserves to eat, play, or clean with safe water." said Representative Laura Friedman (CA-30). "The Trump Administration has shown that is it no friend in the fight to provide Americans with clean water, as it continues to roll back protections on water sources like wetlands. Both my constituents and water districts like Crescenta Valley can rely on me to keep our taps flowing pollution-free."

Since her time in the California State Assembly, Friedman has stood out as a leading voice for clean water access. She brought Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to Los Angeles to focus the national spotlight on Trump's cuts to federal programs and projects like the Los Angeles river revitalization effort that would improve water quality, as well as increase access to parkland and trails. Most recently, Friedman called out the Trump administration's plans to cut protections for wetlands - a critical source of natural water filtration - out of the Clean Water Act.
