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.”
