Massachusetts to Receive Water Infrastructure Funds

The long awaited infrastructure bill moves forward and Massachusetts is to receive a dedicated $1.1 billion for water infrastructure improvements over the next five years. The bill includes provisions to increase funding for the Assistance for Small and Disadvantaged Communities Program and funding can be used for projects such as filtration for drinking water and technical assistance with asset management.
