The funding comes from the bipartisan infrastructure law, which was negotiated by Senators Shaheen and Hassan, and which the full New Hampshire Congressional delegation supported. Along with the funding,EPA announced plans to replace lead pipes across the country within a decade.\n\n\u201cLead pipes are harmful to the health of New Hampshire families and children, and addressing them in a targeted and comprehensive manner will ensure that everyone can access safe, clean drinking water,\u201d said Congressman Chris Pappas. \u201cI helped pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to deliver federal resources to our communities to modernize our infrastructure and safeguard public health, and these funds will do that. I\u2019ll keep fighting to address contaminants in drinking water and protect the well-being of Granite Staters.\u201d\n\n\u201cEvery Granite Stater, regardless of where they live, should have clean water running from their taps,\u201d said Senator Shaheen, \u201cThat\u2019s why I was proud to help lead negotiations on the water infrastructure provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\u2014the largest single investment in water ever made by the federal government. I\u2019m glad to see more funding headed to New Hampshire from this historic law to benefit drinking water systems in communities throughout the state.\u201d\n\n\"Every Granite Stater deserves access to safe, clean drinking water, and that will be possible for more families now thanks to nearly $25 million in federal funding coming to New Hampshire to replace lead pipes,\u201d said Senator Hassan. \u201cI helped negotiate and pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to enable projects like these, which allow our communities to thrive, and I am glad to see that the bipartisan infrastructure law continues to deliver for New Hampshire.\u201d\n\n\u201cLead exposure poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of Granite State communities\u2014particularly kids\u2019 growth and development,\u201d said Congresswoman Kuster. \u201cWith these resources made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, New Hampshire will be able to remove dangerous lead pipes and ensure more homes, schools, and businesses have access to safe, clean drinking water.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "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://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/nh-delegation-applauds-additional-25-million-from-the-bipartisan-infrastructure-law-to-support-clean-drinking-water"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8643879555165768, "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"}
