Sen. Ossoff Delivering Resources to Help Modernize Savannah’s Water Infrastructure

Savannah, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering upgrades to the City of Savannah's water infrastructure.

Today Sen. Ossoff announced he is delivering Federal resources to increase sewer capacity in Savannah. With the funding, the city plans to expand its current sewer systems to help handle the region's continued economic growth.

Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $3,000,000 for the project through this year's bipartisan government funding package, working alongside Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock.

"I'm delivering new resources to upgrade water infrastructure for families in Savannah and Chatham County. I will continue working to secure upgrades for Georgia's infrastructure to keep communities safe and upgrade quality of life," Sen. Ossoff said. "I thank Mayor Van Johnson for bringing this proposal to my office and for his leadership in the community."

"Senator Ossoff continues to deliver much-needed federal resources to Savannah and Chatham County," Mayor Van R. Johnson, II said. "As Savannah experiences tremendous growth, it is imperative that we invest in our water infrastructure and increase our ability to provide sewer services as the need for these vital utilities grows."
