Senator Ricciardi to Receive Annual Water Advocate Award

CONCORD, NH – Senator Denise Ricciardi (R-Bedford) issued the following
statement today on winning the Granite State Rural Water Association
Advocate Award for 2024:

“I am honored to receive the Granite State Rural Water
Association’s Annual Water Advocate Award. In my time as a State
Senator, I have fought for every Granite Stater’s right to have access
to clean drinking water. My unwavering commitment to improving New
Hampshire’s water quality is why this year I championed legislation to
fortify our drinking water against harmful chemicals like PFAS.

I am proud of the work we have accomplished to ensure we have
clean water, and to repair, expand, and maintain our municipal water
infrastructure. In addition, I worked diligently and collaboratively on
an initiative to establish a state funding partnership program that not
only reduces the cost to our local towns and taxpayers, but will also
help advance housing and economic development that is desperately
needed.

I have been consistent in my approach to keeping New Hampshire’s
water table clean and supporting policies that improve water access
across the state. We must do everything we can to protect our most vital
resource, and I am grateful that the GSRWA recognizes my work for the
people of New Hampshire.”
