The EPA's latest needs survey found that wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water systems will need more than $1.2 trillion over the next 20 years to keep up with regular infrastructure maintenance and stay compliant with federal laws. Unfortunately, major federal programs, including the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, WIFIA, and the Water Infrastructure and Workforce grant are expiring September 30.

The Environment and Public Works Committee passed S.4949 reauthorizing these programs, but now the rest of Congress needs to act. Keep our rates affordable, clean water available, and our economy moving forward — Tell Congress to reauthorize these vital programs today!
