Duckworth Announces $3.5 Million in Congressionally Directed Spending to Support Water Improvements in Harvey

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), co-founder of the Senate’s first Environmental Justice Caucus, announced that $3.5 million she secured through a Fiscal Year 2022 Congressionally Directed Spending Request will be sent by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the City of Harvey for its Central Area Water and Sewer Improvement Project. This Duckworth-secured federal funding will increase Harvey’s financial capacity to implement long-overdue water infrastructure upgrades to help address chronic flooding and reduce resource costs for breaks and leaks repairs, while also helping provide higher quality drinking water to residents.
