New York, Minnesota Propose Millions in Water Infrastructure Upgrades

Among the proposals highlighted by New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo last week was $250 million for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the state. Also last week, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton unveiled a plan to spend $220 million to modernize the state’s aging water system, the most ambitious effort in recent history to begin fixing pipes and plants that process the state’s sewage and drinking water.

In New York, Cuomo’s office said the funding will add $100 million to the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2015.
