White House is distributing $5.8 billion from the infrastructure law for water projects

The Biden administration says it is distributing another $5.8 billion for water infrastructure projects around the country, paid for by one of its key legislative victories. The money will go to projects in all 50 states, bringing the total awarded to states for water infrastructure projects to $22 billion. It comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that President Joe Biden signed into law during his first year in office. Vice President Kamala Harris and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan will formally unveil the plans at an event in Pittsburgh later Tuesday.
