Support clean water infrastructure in rural, low-income, and underserved communities.
Occurrences
Ensure communities have clean water through investments in sewer and stormwater infrastructure.
Evidence
The FY26 CPF disclosure lists multiple water and wastewater requests: the City of Midland pump-station emergency power generator, the City of Linden clean water and pipe replacement project, the Fenton Township safe drinking water project, and Buena Vista Charter Township wastewater treatment plant upgrades.
Her FY27 appropriations requests continue to seek clean-water infrastructure funding, including Bay County regional wastewater infrastructure, Flint drinking water stabilization, Fenton safe drinking water, and Saginaw Township wastewater treatment plant expansion; the page also says only a handful of requests may actually be funded.
The report says the City of Midland received a $600,000 EPA grant for a permanent backup generator for its water system and identifies the project as one requested by Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet.
Assessments
In her current federal term, Kristen McDonald Rivet formally pursued multiple district water and wastewater projects through FY26 and FY27 appropriations requests, which shows clear effort to advance the promise. At least one identified project, a $600,000 EPA grant for Midland's water-system backup generator, was funded and tied to her request. But the broader promise covered clean water infrastructure across rural, low-income, and underserved communities, and the record here shows only limited confirmed funding rather than broad completed delivery. That supports partial credit in the same term, with meaningful effort but not full fulfillment yet.
