WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pennsylvania has received a $37.5 million boost from the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, announced by Senators Bob Casey and John Fetterman, along with Representatives Dwight Evans, Madeleine Dean, and Chrissy Houlahan. The funding, allocated by the Environmental Protection Agency, is specifically targeted at detecting and eliminating Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from the state’s water supply.
Representative Dean stressed the importance of this financial commitment in fulfilling the state’s constitutional obligation to safeguard its citizens’ right to clean water. She also pointed out the long overdue need to confront the dangers posed by ‘forever chemicals’ to communities within Pennsylvania.
