What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The House of Representatives approved the Water Resources Development Act of 2026, which allocates $125 million to water infrastructure projects on Long Island. This funding includes $25 million for Long Beach to upgrade its water mains, $11 million for Garden City to remove lead pipes, and $3.3 million for Freeport pumping stations to address tidal flooding. Representative Laura Gillen secured the funding authorizations for these projects, but the bill must still receive Senate approval and be signed by President Donald Trump.

For Long Beach, the $25 million is expected to cover a portion of the cost of replacing water mains, which the city estimates will cost over $100 million. The bill's passage depends on the signature of President Donald Trump.
