The funding is New Hampshire’s Fiscal Year 2026 allocation from the Emerging Contaminants in Small and Disadvantaged Communities program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “Every Granite Stater needs reliable access to clean water and deserves to know that the water coming from their tap or private well is safe and free from dangerous PFAS contamination,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “This federal investment will make life better for hardworking people across New Hampshire, and I’ll never stop fighting to deliver every penny promised to our state.” “Families in New Hampshire deserve to know that the water they are drinking is clean and PFAS-free, regardless of where their water supply comes from,” said Senator Shaheen. “I was proud to secure funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that makes this assistance possible so I’m glad to see that it will be made available to the communities that will benefit, including folks who get their drinking water from a private well.” “I am proud that the funding I worked to secure in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping New Hampshire towns remove PFAS and other toxic chemicals from drinking water. However, I am deeply concerned about yesterday’s announcement that the Trump Administration plans to roll back PFAS protections, making it even more important that local communities have the resources they need to keep drinking water safe. No New Hampshire family should have to worry that their drinking water is making them sick,” said Senator Hassan . “I fought to pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to deliver needed resources to New Hampshire communities to update water infrastructure, combat harmful PFAS contamination, and strengthen access to clean, safe water,” said Congressman Pappas . “While this funding is welcome news, the Trump administration continues to roll back environmental protections and put the interests of corporate polluters ahead of the health and safety of Granite Staters and our environment. I will continue to fight for better national PFAS standards, to hold polluters accountable, and to deliver federal resources for New Hampshire.” ### OFFICE LOCATIONS CONCORD DISTRICT OFFICE 18 North Main Street 4th Floor Concord, NH 03301 Phone: (603) 226-1002 Get Directions NASHUA DISTRICT OFFICE 184 Main Street Suite 222 Nashua, NH 03060 Phone: (603) 226-1002 To schedule an appointment, click here.
