That is why I fought to pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to deliver these federal resources to New Hampshire,\u201d said U.S. Representative Chris Pappas. \u201cI\u2019ll keep fighting to ensure this law benefits Granite Staters by delivering clean drinking water, protecting our environment, and helping our communities and economy grow for the future.\u201d\n\n\"The health and vitality of Granite State communities depend on clean water,\u201d said U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. \u201cAs a lead negotiator of the water provisions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I'm thrilled to see this funding headed to New Hampshire to strengthen our wastewater infrastructure, address forever chemicals and keep our lakes and rivers clean.\"\n\n\u201cEvery Granite Stater deserves safe, clean drinking water, and this new $34 million in funding for New Hampshire through the bipartisan infrastructure law will help make that possible for more families,\u201d said U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan. \u201cI helped negotiate and pass into law this historic infrastructure package to help deliver results for our communities, and I am pleased to see these continued investments flowing to New Hampshire to upgrade our water systems and protect public health.\u201d\n\n\u201cSafe, clean water is essential to the health and well-being of our communities, our economy, and our way of life,\u201d said U.S. Representative Annie Kuster. \u201cWith these resources made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, New Hampshire will be able to make critical improvements to our state\u2019s water infrastructure, protect our freshwater ecosystems, and ensure more families and businesses have access to clean drinking water.\u201d\n\n\u201cWater keeps us healthy, sustains vibrant communities and dynamic ecosystems, and supports economic opportunity. When our water infrastructure fails, it threatens people\u2019s health, peace of mind, and the environment,\u201d said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. \u201cWith the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\u2019s historic investment in water, EPA is working with states and local partners to upgrade infrastructure and address local challenges\u2014from lead in drinking water, to PFAS, to water main breaks, to sewer overflows and climate resilience. Together, we are creating good-paying jobs while ensuring that all people can rely on clean and safe water.\u201d\n\n\u201cClean, reliable water is at the heart of every thriving community. Yet too many communities\u2014especially those overburdened by pollution or left behind by past investments\u2014face challenges accessing the resources they need to upgrade water infrastructure,\" said EPA Regional Administrator David W. Cash. \"Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, we are delivering transformative funding to support local solutions to water issues, from fixing aging infrastructure to addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS. These investments don\u2019t just protect public health and reduce pollution in waterways; they also create good-paying jobs and help communities become more resilient for the future.\u201d\n\nThese bipartisan infrastructure law funds will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF), a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership. This multibillion-dollar investment will fund state-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing water infrastructure. Today\u2019s announcement includes allotments for bipartisan infrastructure law Clean Water General Supplemental funds for New Hampshire ($24,867,000), Emerging Contaminant funds ($2,146,000), and $7,640,000 under the Drinking Water Emerging Contaminant Fund.", 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-joins-epa-in-announcing-nearly-35-million-for-water-infrastructure-in-new-hampshire"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7692379876971245, "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"}
