Delaware Business Now
Gov. John Carney Thursday signed into law House Bill 200, the Clean Water for Delaware Act.
HB 200, sponsored by House Majority Leader Valerie Longhurst, D-Bear, establishes a framework for assessing needs and planning to implement projects that support Delaware’s efforts to improve the quality of the state’s water supply and waterways.
The act also calls for creating the Delaware Clean Water Trust supported by $50 million in the fiscal year 2022 budget as a funding source for water quality and water-related projects.
“All Delawareans deserve clean water. The Clean Water for Delaware Act and our new Clean Water Trust will help us deliver on that promise,” said   Carney. “This legislation and unprecedented investment, which had bipartisan support, will help us protect our waterways for future generations of Delawareans, and upgrade our infrastructure to make sure all Delaware families have access to clean drinking water. Thank you to Representative Longhurst, Senator Townsend, the Delaware Nature Society and all the advocates who have worked on this issue for years.”
