West Virginia Seeks $250M for Clean Water

About this episode

West Virginia is seeking $250 million in federal funding to address its clean water crisis amid significant infrastructure repair needs.

West Virginias Clean Water Crisis: A Call for $250M in Federal Funding West Virginia is grappling with a severe clean water crisis, with the EPA estimating a $4.5 billion infrastructure repair need over the next two decades. The states annual budget, at $5.5 billion, falls short of this gap. In response, a coalition of organizations and lawmakers has urged Congress for $250 million in targeted funding. This investment would directly benefit nine counties, providing reliable water access to struggling households, and fund an EPA study to map out clean water needs. This push signifies hope for sustained investments and real change in addressing the states water crisis. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
