Sen. Ossoff Working Across the Aisle to Improve Sewer and Stormwater Infrastructure Across Georgia

Sen. Ossoff Working Across the Aisle to Improve Sewer and Stormwater Infrastructure Across Georgia September 23, 2026 Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is working to improve sewer and stormwater infrastructure across Georgia. Sen. Ossoff is cosponsoring the bipartisan Clean Water Allotment Modernization Act of 2026 to help Georgia communities receive more support to address wastewater and stormwater infrastructure needs. The bipartisan legislation, first introduced by Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), would replace the outdated funding formula for the EPA’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program, which determines how much Federal funding for wastewater and stormwater infrastructure is distributed to different states, with a formula that better reflects states’ population and infrastructure demands. “Investing in Georgia’s sewer and stormwater infrastructure means protecting our families, homes, and communities. I am working across the aisle to help upgrade Georgia’s water infrastructure to keep communities safe and upgrade quality of life,” Sen. Ossoff said. Sen. Ossoff continues to upgrade sewer and stormwater infrastructure across the State of Georgia. In May, Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock and Reps. Williams and McBath brought Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to deliver $1,092,000 in Federal funding for key stormwater infrastructure upgrades along Norman Berry Drive in East Point, including a storm water main replacement and headwall restoration to improve stormwater flows and prevent sinkholes in the area. In April, Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock and Rep. McBath brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $1,092,000 in Federal funding to help improve South Fulton’s stormwater infrastructure, including the replacement of old stormwater pipes and measures to mitigate the effect of flooding near homes. Also in April, Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to deliver $954,000 in Federal funding to help the City of Hampton implement critical stormwater infrastructure improvements and reduce flooding along Woolsey Road. Last year, Sen. Ossoff passed into law his Georgia Stormwater Management Act , which created a new authority for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct water infrastructure projects across the Henry County, Clayton County, and Muscogee County. This year, Sen. Ossoff delivered $3,120,000 in Federal funding through the new authority to help upgrade the South Columbus Water Resources facility, which serves the City of Columbus and Fort Benning.
