Hochul: $43M going to help communities afford water infrastructure projects

New York State will invest $43 million to fund local water and sewer infrastructure upgrades.
The funds include low-cost financing and state and federal grants to reduce rate increases for communities.
Regions receiving funding include Finger Lakes, Mohawk Valley, and St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
Hochul said the funding means communities won’t have to choose between clean water and affordable rates.
The projects include replacing lead service lines and expanding public water access.
Governor Hochul announced the plan on Thursday as part of statewide infrastructure efforts.
The funding aims to replace aging watermains and improve water supply reliability.
The plan includes a $12.7 million project in Mohawk Valley to replace lead service lines.
The initiative covers multiple communities including Parma, Sheldon, Stafford, and Town of Vernon.
Officials expect safer water and lower costs for New Yorkers due to the funding.
