This funding will support local projects to improve wastewater management systems, protect freshwater resources, and deliver safe drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses. This investment comes from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, that the senators helped enact. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law made the largest investment in water infrastructure in American history.\n\n\u201cThis robust investment will help our state make great strides in upgrading Michigan\u2019s outdated water infrastructure, addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS, and safeguarding our state\u2019s unmatched freshwater resources,\u201d said Senator Peters. \u201cI was proud to play a role in passing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which made these upgrades possible, and I\u2019m glad that this support will go to the communities in our state who need it most. We must continue working to ensure that every Michigander has access to safe drinking water.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act continues to deliver for Michigan,\u201d said Senator Stabenow. \u201cThis new investment will improve our water systems, clean up pollution, keep our drinking water safe, fix old pipes, and more. Step-by-step, this law is making our state a safer, better place for families to live.\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.\n\nThese Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds for Michigan \u2013 specifically $106,994,000 in Clean Water General Supplemental funding, $9,236,000 in Clean Water Emerging Contaminant funding, and $17,433,000 in Drinking Water Emerging Contaminant funding \u2013 will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF). The State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs have been the foundation of water infrastructure investments for more than 30 years, providing low-cost financing for local projects across America. These critical programs help communities minimize pollution, invest in clean infrastructure projects, address emerging contaminants like PFAS, and implement systems to provide clean drinking water to residents.\n\n###", 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://www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senators-peters-and-stabenow-announce-michigan-will-receive-nearly-134-million-to-upgrade-water-infrastructure"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4948889147490263, "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"}
