Water Advocates
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.

Write your Members of Congress to urge them to provide robust funding for water infrastructure funding programs in the fiscal year 2023 budget
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.
