The combined $60 million will support the Beaverton North Transmission Line Intertie Project and Willamette Water Supply System Improvement (WWSS) Project.\n\nBoth projects will make water supply systems in Washington County more seismically resilient and will include the construction of a new water transmission main in Beaverton, a water treatment plant near the city of Sherwood, and a concrete water reservoir on Cooper Mountain. Bonamici previously secured $3 million in Community Project Funding for the WWSS project.\n\n\u201cReliable water infrastructure is critical to the wellbeing of communities,\u201d said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. \u201cI\u2019m grateful that Washington County will receive the funding I advocated for to update and upgrade water systems, help the systems withstand an earthquake, and support daily life.\u201d\n\nThe legislation also includes provisions recommended by Bonamici to support small ports, the Lower Columbia River, and safe dredging in the Columbia River Channel. It also authorizes two Army Corps of Engineers projects to assess the efficacy and cost effectiveness of using green infrastructure, bioswales, and other stormwater management practices to capture and prevent microplastic pollution in waterways, including ports, shorelines, and riverbanks.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bonamici.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-sends-water-infrastructure-bill-presidents-desk-60-million-washington"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.517605036497116, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
