Biden: Mississippi governor 'has to act' on Jackson water

[Bayard]

18. Infrastructure Bill

The nation has underinvested in water infrastructure for too long. Insufficient water infrastructure threatens America’s security, and it risks people’s health, jobs, peace of mind, and future prosperity. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers more than $50 billion to EPA to improve our nation’s drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure - the single largest investment in water that the federal government has ever made.

Safe Drinking Water
$11.7 billion to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF).

$15 billion to the Drinking Water SRF for Lead Service Line Replacement.

$4 billion to the Drinking Water SRF for Emerging Contaminants.

$5 billion to Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Grants to address emerging contaminants.

Clean Water for Communities
$11.7 billion for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund SRF.

$1 billion for the Clean Water SRF for Emerging Contaminants.

Surely this state can get the funds to fix this problem if their governor and legislature would get on board.
