Warner | W000805 | www.warner.senate.gov | warner | https://www.warner.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ | scraper | WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) announced $3 million in grant funding to support major upgrades to the Town of Altavista’s wastewater treatment plant. The funding will improve the plant’s operational reliability, lower energy usage and the associated costs, enhance treatment capabilities, and improve system resiliency to extend the useful life of critical infrastructure. The project will also create 273 jobs. “High-quality water infrastructure is critical to the health and well-being of all Virginians,” said the senators. “We’re thrilled to have helped deliver this federal funding to Altavista to help the town create jobs while modernizing its wastewater treatment plant, ensuring local residents and businesses have a quality water system they can depend on.” The funding was awarded through an Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant program. Year after year, the senators have supported robust EDA funding in Congress. Sens. Warner and Kaine have long supported efforts to improve clean water access and strengthen wastewater infrastructure across the Commonwealth. In 2025, the senators announced more than $26 million in federal funding to modernize and expand Lee County’s wastewater system and announced $700,000 to extend public wastewater service in Wise County. In 2023, they announced nearly $62.4 million for clean water infrastructure upgrades across Virginia, including more than $47 million made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which they helped pass. ### | 1 | 2026-09-05T08:49:07Z | 2026-09-05T08:50:44Z |
