US Senate Votes on Infrastructure Plan, Agrees to Advance Bill to Floor
There is dedicated funding in the infrastructure package to replace lead service lines and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The Senate has voted to begin work on a national infrastructure plan, which includes $550 billion in new infrastructure spending.
This comes after weeks of negotiations between the White House and a bipartisan group of senators, which have now agreed on major provisions of the package, according to The White House fact sheet about the plan.
According to The White House fact sheet, the deal will add, on average, around 2 million jobs per year over the course of the decade. This package marks the largest investment, $55 billion, in clean drinking water and waste water infrastructure in American history.
