| https://sablan.house.gov/175m-watersewer | $17.5m for water/sewer | 2020-09-20 | 2020 | 2020-09 | Democrat | Senate | MP | Gregorio Sablan | S001177 | sablan.house.gov | legacy | $17.5m for water/sewer Sep 20, 2020 Marianas water and sewer infrastructure gets another $17,519,000, the Environmental Protection Agency announced. $10,400,000 is the specific set-aside for the Marianas I included in last year's disaster relief act, U.S. Public Law 116-20. The balance of $7,191,000 is the set aside for the Marianas and other territories in the EPA appropriation for fiscal year 2020, U.S. Public Law 116-94. The money is more welcome than ever with so much of our attention on the need to raise standards for public health and maintain a clean environment for residents and to reassure prospective tourists that the Marianas is safe to visit. We increased water and sewer funding every year since 2010 by changing a formula in annual appropriations bills. Together with one-time funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act total funding has now reached $97.6 million. In July, I successfully offered a floor amendment to H.R. 2, the Moving Forward Act, making a permanent formula change. The House passed the bill, 233-188, but the Republican-led Senate has refused to take action. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
