Congressman Langworthy Announces $2 Million EPA Grant for Town of Friendship Water Infrastructure

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $2 million to the Town of Friendship for drinking water system improvements as a part of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (STAG). 

“I’m proud to deliver this $2 million federal investment to the Town of Friendship to replace outdated, failing water infrastructure,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Since securing the earmark last year, I’ve been pushing to get this grant across the finish line — and now it’s happening. This funding will allow Friendship to replace leaking, undersized water mains and build a new storage tank, giving residents access to clean, dependable drinking water for generations. This is exactly the kind of smart federal investment our rural communities need and deserve.”

This funding was secured in H. Res. 4366, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which was signed into law in March 2024.
