CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Municipal officials want New Hampshire to start helping communities with water supply, wastewater and landfill projects.
The New Hampshire Municipal Association says the Legislature has deferred most of the funding for the environmental projects since October 2008.
The association says eligible municipal projects have not been funded for four years. The group says that has produced a backlog of 100 wastewater projects seeking $46 million in state aid commitments; 17 water supply projects totaling $7.5 million; and eight landfill closure projects totaling $805,000 in requests.
Municipal officials and lawmakers planned to testify Thursday in support of a House bill that would restore $8.8 million for the projects over the next two-year budget cycle.
