WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo announced that the Department of Defense has awarded the Guam Waterworks Authority $55.30 million for civilian water and wastewater improvement projects related to the realignment of Marines from Okinawa to Guam. These projects were obligated in July as part of a $106.4 million appropriation that was approved by Congress and was authorized by a provision sponsored by Congresswoman Bordallo in the FY16 NDAA.<\/p>\n
The funding includes the following:<\/p>\n
\u2022 $21,000,000 grant to Guam Waterworks Authority: Northern District Water Treatment Plant for the final planning and design, overall program\/construction management services, and installation of diffuser on outfall.<\/p>\n
\u2022 $30,600,000 frant to Guam Waterworks Authority: Interceptor Sewer Line Replacement for final planning, design, and construction to refurbish the sewer line in Northern Guam which supports Andersen Air Force Base and the new Marine Corps Base.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased DoD has released funding to GWA to for civilian water and wastewater improvement projects that were approved by a provision I sponsored in last year\u2019s defense authorization bill. The funding demonstrates the continued progress we are making to move forward with the buildup in a way that benefits our civilian community. I am working to authorize the remaining funds for civilian infrastructure improvements in this year\u2019s defense authorization bill, which I included in the House bill. I will continue to work with my fellow conferees to ensure that the NDAA provides the DoD with the authority to help address civilian infrastructure needs.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
