Congressman Kean secured $850,000 in a key House Appropriations bill for Mine Hill Township through the Community Project Funding process, which will be used to replace 5,307 linear feet of transite water main.\n\n\u201cThese pipes have been in the ground for over 40 years, contain asbestos, and are starting to fail,\u201d said Congressman Kean. \u201cI am pleased to secure this federal funding to ensure that Mine Hill families have reliable access to high-quality water for decades to come.\u201d\n\n\u201cI can't thank Congressman Kean enough for his care and concern about the people of Mine Hill and the people of the Seventh District,\u201d said Mayor Sam Morris. \u201cHis hard work and relentless efforts to secure significant funding for our water safety project is appreciated more than we can express. I want to thank him for caring about us, and I want to thank him for fighting for us.\"\n\n\u201cThank you to the Congressman for securing this funding, and especially for taking the time to come to Mine Hill and seeing firsthand where it will be used,\u201d said Mine Hill resident Cristina Capsouras. \u201cExplaining why this funding is needed is only half the battle, it\u2019s amazing that he came here in person to see the need for himself. Replacing the water main will provide much needed peace of mind for all of us here in Mine Hill.\u201d\n\nIn July, Congressman Kean announced that 18 Community Project Funding requests made by his office totaling $17,765,906, are included in key House funding bills for the upcoming fiscal year. Since taking office, Congressman Kean has secured over $3 million for water main and pipe replacement.
