Maryland’s Congressional delegation has announced an 18-million-dollar federal investment in the state’s water systems. The EPA funding will be used to upgrade and modernize wastewater and stormwater infrastructure statewide. The lawmakers say updating the water systems is crucial to providing communities with the tools they need to manage their critical infrastructure. They say the funding ensures clean water for decades to come and protects public health and our environment by investing in systems that reduce runoff and improve water quality.
