Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that nearly $9 million in funding and financing had been approved for five water and sewer infrastructure projects across West Virginia.
The investments were approved by the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council and are aimed at improving water service, reducing sewer overflows, and expanding infrastructure in communities that need dependable systems to support residents and growth.
Projects included work in places such as Alderson, Clay, Marmet, and Nicholas County, with funding directed toward rehabilitation, storage upgrades, overflow fixes, and broader system improvements.
Morrisey emphasized that water and sewer projects are about more than pipes and permits. In his view, they are direct investments in quality of life, public health, and the economic future of West Virginia communities.
That framing reflects a broader administration message: infrastructure improvements are a practical way to raise living standards while making communities more attractive for new business activity and private investment.
By moving multiple projects forward at once, the administration was able to show steady progress on the kind of local improvements that residents see and feel in everyday life.
