New HampshireNew Hampshire would have set aside $30 million for wastewater projects
New Hampshire would have set aside $30 million across two budget years for wastewater projects approved by June 30, 2026.
What it does
The state would have given its environmental agency $15 million in each of two budget years for wastewater projects approved by June 30, 2026. Unspent money would have carried forward.
Argument forThe money could help communities pay for wastewater projects approved by the deadline, easing their share of the cost.
Argument againstSetting aside $30 million from the state treasury could leave less for other needs, while grant payments could continue for 20 years or more.
More detail
The state would have set aside $30 million for the Department of Environmental Services to fund wastewater projects. Only wastewater projects approved under New Hampshire's wastewater aid law on or before June 30, 2026, would qualify. Unspent money would have remained available after the budget years ended. The amounts were for the years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The proposal listed July 1, 2025, as its effective date.
