This monumental legislation provides $8.3 billion for Western water infrastructure and drought resilience, including Congresswoman Lee\u2019s Large-Scale Water Recycling legislation which the Department of the Interior announced an initial investment in earlier this month.\n\n\u201cThe flood of federal water funding into our state should reassure every Nevadan that our future is looking brighter and more sustainable every day,\u201d said Congresswoman Susie Lee. \u201cThis additional funding, most of which was provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will not only continue to protect and preserve our water supplies, but also keep dangerous forever chemicals out of our faucets and precious water resources.\u201d\n\nThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $3,683,000 to Nevada through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program for state water pollution control projects, and an additional $459,000 specifically for investments to address emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater, stormwater, and nonpoint source pollution. The EPA also awarded $8,758,000 through the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) program for additional projects to address emerging contaminants in drinking water.\n\nYou can read more about the CWSRF here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "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://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-lee-announces-even-more-federal-water-funding-flooding-nevada"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9152749553322792, "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"}
