Though the Clean Water for Delaware Act (HB270) was tabled, Governor Carney did include $6 million for clean water funding in his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY2019). While we are thrilled this funding has been included in the Governor’s budget, it is up to Delaware’s Joint Committee on Capital Improvement (also known as the Bond Bill Committee) to write the Annual Bond Bill, which will detail capital improvements for the FY2019 budget.
This committee will host a public hearing on funding related to clean water on Thursday, May 17th at 9:30AM in the Joint Finance Committee Hearing Room (basement of Legislative Hall).
If you plan to contact members of the Bond Bill Committee to let them know how important clean water funding is to you, or if you will join us at the hearing to show support, please fill out the following form.
