Cherokee Nation, Indian Health Service To Bring Safe Water Infrastructure, Sewage Upgrades To 1,400 Homes

The Cherokee Nation has announced that it is partnering with Indian Health Service to bring more than $11.8 million in safe water infrastructure and sewage upgrades to 1,400 homes.

Cherokee Nation Media reports the homes are in the Cherokee Nation Reservation.

The funds for the project will come from the Infrastructure, Investments and Jobs Act of 2021.

Funds were made available in the act to make sure American Indians and Alaska Natives have safer drinking water and adequate sewage in their homes.
