The legislation now heads to the Senate for further consideration.\n\n\u201cWhen you turn on the tap, you expect clean, safe drinking water to come out,\u201d Chairwoman McClain said. \u201cBut as many families in Michigan know, aging infrastructure means we can\u2019t take that for granted. This $50 million authorization will help communities upgrade the water systems families and businesses rely on every single day.\n\nThe legislation comes after a May 2026 water main break left families and businesses in Lake Orion and surrounding communities without running water for days. Subject to appropriations, the funding authorized by WRDA 2026will allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to partner with local communities to improve water supply resiliency in the future.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-18T09:27:43Z", "2026-09-18T09:29:09Z"]], "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://mcclain.house.gov/2026/9/chairwoman-mcclain-secures-50-million-for-water-projects-in-house-passed-wrda-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1799279600381851, "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"}
