Legislation, S-2003, sponsored by Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman that would fund clean water projects throughout the state was signed into law by the governor today. Senator Bateman is the senior Republican member of the Senate Environment and Energy Committee.
“New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the union,” Bateman stated. “It is very important, because of this density, that the state take all possible measures to ensure that our drinking water is safe.”
The bill would appropriate money from a variety of federal and state funds including the; Clean Water State Revolving Fund, the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and the Traditional financing Program. The various projects are funded by a mix of grants and market rate loans.
“Even in these difficult economic times we must be vigilant about the quality of our drinking water,” Bateman continued. “This bill because it utilizes funds that were appropriated years ago, fulfils our need for clean water while honoring our commitment to sound fiscal practices.”
