The EPA is providing Missouri more than $147 million to update water infrastructure and create jobs.
In a letter sent to Governor Mike Parson Thursday, EPA Administrator Michael Regan urged him to target resources to disadvantaged communities, work to achieve led-free water systems, and limit the use of ‘forever chemicals’ that contaminate water.
EPA Region 7 administrator, Edward Chu, says the investment supports the immediate needs of aging water and wastewater systems in underserved communities.
