South Blooming Grove Benefits from Hochul's $265 Million For Water Infrastructure

By Mrs. I. Perl

Governor Hochul announced a new $265 million grant that will go towards improving and building water infrastructure projects across New York. 

Many communities that need to revamp their water system or replace their lead service lines in order to provide clean, healthy drinking water to their residents. This new grant will make these projects possible. 

Part of the grant money, $4.7 million to be exact, has been awarded to South Blooming Grove. The money will go towards the construction of a new water pump, two wells, a 400,000-gallon water storage tank, and the replacement of more than a mile of water pipes. 

“Improving our water infrastructure is essential for building safe and healthy New York communities,” Governor Hochul said. “This financial assistance makes all the difference in being able to provide safe drinking water to New Yorkers, protect our natural resources, and ensure the projects are successful and affordable.”
