CHARLESTON, W.Va. — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, and member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $11,812,000 in funding for clean water infrastructure projects in West Virginia through this year’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).

“Through the EPW Committee, we crafted the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act, which represented the largest investment in clean drinking water in our nation’s history, and was included in the final bipartisan infrastructure law,” Ranking Member Capito said. “Ensuring the State Revolving Funds had adequate funding was a priority of mine because states know best how to address local issues in their communities. I’m thrilled to provide this funding for West Virginia and know it will go a long way in maintaining and improving our water systems, which ultimately will lead to improved health and safety for residents across our state.”

From April 2021: Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the EPW Committee, applauded passage of the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021 (DWWIA 2021), legislation she introduced and co-wrote along with Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.), Chairman of the EPW Committee.
