WASHINGTON- Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) announced today that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding $520,000 to support water system improvements in the Town of Garden City.
This funding was secured through the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117-328) as part of Congress's effort to strengthen local water infrastructure and ensure communities have access to safe, reliable water services.
"Clean, dependable water is essential for every community, and this investment will help Garden City make needed improvements to its water system," said Congressman Aderholt. "I am proud to support funding that strengthens critical infrastructure in North Alabama and helps ensure residents have access to safe water now and into the future."
The Garden City project is one of 715 congressionally directed water infrastructure projects funded nationwide through the EPA's Community Grants program. In FY 2023, Congress provided $1.47 billion for these projects under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
Congressman Aderholt emphasized that investments like this one are vital to maintaining strong communities and supporting long-term growth.
"This grant is good news for Garden City and the surrounding area," Aderholt added. "It will help the town modernize its water system and better serve local families and businesses."
