College Park, Ga. <\/strong>\u2014 U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock, alongside Congresswomen Nikema Williams (GA-05) and Lucy McBath (GA-06), are delivering resources to help remove lead pipes from College Park’s drinking water infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock and Reps. Williams and McBath brought Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to help the City of College Park upgrade its drinking water infrastructure. The Federal resources will help the city replace lead pipes with ductile iron pipes, improving drinking water quality for families.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock and Reps. Williams and McBath are delivering $2,134,000 for the project through bipartisan government funding legislation that became law on January 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClean, safe, healthy drinking water is not a luxury \u2014 it\u2019s a necessity,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said<\/strong>. \u201cThat\u2019s why we brought Republicans and Democrats together to upgrade water infrastructure in College Park.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a nation as rich and powerful as ours, there is no reason any community should have to worry about the quality of their drinking water.\u201d said Senator Warnock.<\/strong> \u201cI am proud to have worked alongside my Georgia colleagues to provide these critical upgrades, and peace of mind, for the College Park community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congresswoman Nikema Williams <\/strong>said: \u201cWhen Georgian families turn on their faucet, there shouldn\u2019t be a question about the safety of their water\u2014especially not in the wealthiest country in the world. I\u2019m proud to have brought $2,134,000 back to College Park and secured clean, safe, and dependable drinking water with my Georgia colleagues.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of College Park\u2019s most well-established residents are threatened by corroding and failing lead pipes,\u201dMcBath<\/strong> said. <\/strong>\u201cWe owe it to these residents to bring overdue federal investments back to their community to ensure they don\u2019t have to worry about access to clean drinking water. I am grateful to my colleagues in the Georgia delegation for working together to deliver this funding to College Park.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe City is immeasurably grateful to Senator Ossoff, Senator Reverend Warnock, and Representatives Williams and McBath for their leadership and for helping secure this funding for College Park. These critical upgrades will help improve drinking water quality and keep families safe for generations to come,\u201d said College Park Mayor Bianca Motley Broom.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
