WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee and a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Berkeley County Public Service Water District (BCPSWD) to expand the clean drinking water capacity in southern Berkeley County.
This award, which was secured through a Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) request made by Senator Capito, will provide funding for the beginning of a larger project to construct a new water treatment plant that will meet growing demand in the Bunker Hill area.
“As communities in Berkeley County continue to grow and develop, the need for additional clean water infrastructure is critical,” Ranking Member Capito said. “This funding is a step in the process of directing the resources that these communities need to provide clean water to the growing number of residents and businesses in the area. As Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I was proud to use the CDS process to help make this project a reality.”
