November 13, 2026
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman John Joyce, M.D. announced $1 million in funds awarded to the Fairfield Municipal Authority for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation.
“From conversations I have had with members of the Fairfield Municipal Authority Board, it is clear that the need to replace aging, critical infrastructure was urgent to ensure the health and safety of the community,” said Congressman John Joyce, M.D. “When I shared the good news with Chairman Randy Alexander, he said, ‘This is great for the citizens of Fairfield.’ Congratulations on receiving these much-needed funds. My sincere thanks go to all members of the board, whose dedication to and care for their community are so evident.”
“The board of the Fairfield Municipal Authority truly appreciates Congressman Joyce's concern for our little community and understanding of its dire situation,” said Patricia Smith, Secretary and Treasurer of the Fairfield Municipal Authority.“Our population is over 60 percent low-to-moderate income households, and few businesses cannot generate the funds necessary to replace the aging and leaking sewer collection system, thus we find ourselves in a ‘Catch 22’ of needing collection system replacement with little income to do so. This appropriation will be of significant importance in replacing a substantial section of the aging infrastructure. We thank Congressman Joyce for his support.”
