Tonko Eyes Drinking Water SRF Reauthorization To Address Rural Needs

摘要

Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) is planning to introduce legislation to reauthorize the drinking water state revolving fund (DVVSRF) and improve the ability of small communities to receive technical assistance to qualify for federal funding to maintain and improve drinking water infrastructure. A spokesman for Tonko, who is the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce environment and economy subcommittee, said that although the congressman does not have a definite timeline for introducing legislation, he will be holding events and tours in his home district within the next few weeks in order to raise support for infrastructure up- grades.
