WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, today announced $35,169,000 in funding to upgrade water, wastewater, and storm water systems in West Virginia through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
“Aging water and wastewater systems pose multiple challenges to local communities throughout the United States, including those in West Virginia,” Ranking Member Capito said. “When writing the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act in the EPW Committee, which was a key pillar of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we wanted to ensure our states, cities, and towns could make needed upgrades to their core infrastructure systems. The funding announced today will provide West Virginia the flexibility to meet these needs and help maintain affordable, efficient, and safe water and wastewater infrastructure across our great state.”
