States could soon be in line for more than $3 billion in clean water and drinking water revolving funds as a package of measures works its way through Congress, Rep. Paul Tonko said Thursday.

The package of funding cleared a vote in the House of Representatives amid broader concerns in upstate communities over water contamination issues and efforts to regulate chemicals like PFAS.

As part of the package, the House backed $61.8 million in funding for scientific and regulatory work for PFAS cleanup standards, adding to $49 million in place for the Environmental Protection Agency received earlier this year.

The money includes $428.6 million in funding for improving stormwater management as well as water and wastewater treatment.

“We know our water system needs are immense, but too often this hidden yet critical infrastructure has been left unaddressed with communities paying the price with lasting impacts on their health and well-being,” Tonko said in a statement. “Our children and families deserve safe water to drink. I’ve been pushing for years to fix our broken water systems and get dangerous toxins including lead and PFAS removed from every home, school, business and child care center, and I’m proud of the work we have done in the House today to make that happen."
