Governor Murphy and the New Jersey State Legislature have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a transformative impact on the lives of all New Jerseyans by committing a total of $1 billion over the next year to clean water.

[OurWaterNJ @OurWaterNJ]

We applaud the inclusion of $300 million for water infrastructure in the state budget. The increased funding for water infrastructure is a win for the health of New Jersey’s families, our state’s economy and affordability.

Thank you to the Senate Budget Committee and @shawnlatur for recognizing water infrastructure as vital to New Jersey.

DEP Commissioner @shawnlaturDEP testified yesterday to New Jersey’s significant water infrastructure needs–$30 billion in total–in front of the Senate Budget Committee.
