Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) released the following statement after the
Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act passed the Senate on a bipartisan, 89-2 vote. This bipartisan legislation will deliver more than $35 billion nationwide to ensure all Americans have access to clean water by upgrading aging and degraded water infrastructure, including replacing lead pipes. This is an urgent need across Nevada and will help Nevada’s cities as well as rural and tribal areas. Cortez Masto specifically advocated for the reauthorization in this legislation of two critical EPA programs that will help Nevada cities: the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). Both programs will deliver financial support to Nevada’s drinking water systems while also providing loan financing for a wide range of water infrastructure projects.
