US Senate passes bill to help repair Warm Springs, other tribes’ water infrastructure
WASHINGTON (KTVZ) The U.S. Senate passed a water infrastructure package Thursday that includes legislation by Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., to improve water quality and services for tribal communities in Oregon and nationwide. The Wyden and Merkley provisions will authorize $250 million for tribal water infrastructure projects, and will make sure that Native American tribes most in need will be prioritized.
“Water is a human right; it should be guaranteed. Native American tribes like The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and others nationally that are facing drinking water crises deserve urgent action, and today the Senate delivered,” Wyden said. “I m not going to stop until this legislation is in black letter law and until the Warm Springs reservation is free from boil water notices and have no questions about the quality of their drinking water.”
