Aging infrastructure, strict requirements, and continued economic pressures have put unprecedented stress on local governments and agencies that provide essential water services. Elected officials are being called upon to make tough choices that will impact water quality and the viability of our communities for generations to come.
Let’s speak with a loud, united voice for water. The Water Advocates Program helps you to reach out to and connect with elected officials on important water quality issues.
Through the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) last year, Congress demonstrated a historic federal commitment to support the efforts of communities to repair and upgrade their water infrastructure.
It’s now critical for Congress to include in the FY23 Budget full funding for the programs authorized in IIJA, as well as several additional existing programs. Without this funding, communities will struggle to make progress on the local water infrastructure investment that Congress pledged to support through the IIJA.
Join water professionals from across the nation to help advance key water policy priorities such as sustained growth in federal infrastructure investment, addressing water affordability, supporting water research & development and advancing sound science-based solutions, and making our critical infrastructure more resilient.
