The Good News -Clean Water Progress

We all know how vital clean drinking water is for life and public health. The GOOD News is the Environmental Protection Agency has just announced the availability of $7.5 billion to support improving critical clean drinking water projects across the nation. The EPA funding was made possible by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act enacted by Congress. This funding will help replace lead pipes, reduce pollution from harmful chemicals, and protect drinking water sources.
