WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), and Tom Carper (D-Del.), top Democrat on EPW, released the following statements on the House of Representatives passing S. 3021, America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. The House passed the legislation unanimously by voice vote.
Earlier this week, both Barrasso and Carper announced a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on the comprehensive water infrastructure legislation with the leadership from the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The bill is the most sweeping infrastructure package to be considered this Congress. It grows the economy, keeps communities safe, cuts red tape and is fiscally responsible.
