We applaud the inclusion of $300 million for water infrastructure in the state budget. The increased funding for water infrastructure is a win for the health of New Jersey’s families, our state’s economy and affordability.

While this investment puts us one step closer to bridging New Jersey’s clean water funding gap, there is still work to be done

Campaign co-chair @chrissturm2 joined to discuss New Jersey's remaining $5.5 billion water infrastructure funding gap. Now is the time to take advantage of a once-in-generation opportunity to use federal funding to help close the gap.
New Jersey is getting $588 million in state and federal loans to spend on various water infrastructure projects that will remove harmful chemicals from the water supply and improve the quality of the state’s drinking water. bit.ly/3LtCA0B
Infrastructure week is now real, which means more federal funding for water infrastructure. @GovMurphy and the State Legislature have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand investment in water infrastructure using American Rescue Plan funds. #infrastructureweek

DEP Commissioner @shawnlaturDEP testified yesterday to New Jersey’s significant water infrastructure needs–$30 billion in total–in front of the Senate Budget Committee.
And, as Commissioner LaTourette noted, funding water infrastructure will create good jobs. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that New Jersey cannot afford to miss.
Thank you to the Senate Budget Committee and @shawnlatur for recognizing water infrastructure as vital to New Jersey.
