Rep. Larson announces funding for Southington water supply
On Jan. 30, 2026, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) announced $3 million in new federal funding for the Southington Water Department to construct a new treatment facility to remove dangerous PFAS chemicals from the town’s water supply. Larson secured this new funding as part of a government funding package that passed the House earlier this month and was signed into law on Jan. 23, 2026. It builds on $2 million in federal funding Rep. Larson helped secure with Senators Blumenthal and Murphy for the project in 2024.
“Everyone deserves access to clean and safe drinking water,” said Larson. “I have worked closely with the Southington Water Department over the last few years to improve the town’s water supply, and am proud to announce $3 million in new federal funding that was just signed into law to support the construction of a new treatment facility that removes harmful, cancer-causing PFAS chemicals polluting the water residents rely on. I’ll continue to work with all my colleagues in Congress to invest in our communities and protect families from these dangerous chemicals.”
