Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma has expressed approval following the Senate's passage of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2024. The bill, which had previously cleared the House of Representatives earlier in December, is now awaiting the President's signature to become law.

Lankford highlighted the significance of this legislation for Oklahoma, stating, "Oklahomans want clean, safe water. We have worked for months to negotiate provisions in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) to make it easier for Oklahoma communities to upgrade their water infrastructure, buy more water, and expedite essential projects. This legislation is a major win for the entire state of Oklahoma."

The act includes several key provisions specifically aimed at improving water access and infrastructure within Oklahoma.
