Amplify: Biden Administration Investing Nearly $6 Billion in Clean Drinking Water and Infrastructure

The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it is distributing another $5.8 billion for water infrastructure projects around the country.

The new allocations will go to projects in all 50 states, bringing the total awarded to states for water infrastructure projects to $22 billion. The money comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that President Joe Biden signed into law during his first year in office.

Highlights:

• Nearly half of this funding will be provided as grants or forgivable loans to disadvantaged communities, advancing President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative and ensuring that no community is left behind.

• The Infrastructure Law invests a total of over $50 billion to upgrade America’s water infrastructure, the largest investment in clean water in American history.

• Vice-President Harris reiterated that access to clean water is a right.
