Wastewater Utilities Eye House Infrastructure Package To Address Priorities

摘要

Wastewater and stormwater utilities are eyeing a future House infrastructure package as a vehicle to address their priorities including reauthorization of a key EPA infrastructure funding program, assisting low-income customers with their water bills, and building resilience to natural disasters, financial challenges and workforce changes. "I can speak for my municipal water sector colleagues in communities across the nation that we support improving upon and increasing funding for existing water infrastructure funding programs and, when appropriate, developing new funding tools," Angela Lee, director of Charlotte Water in North Carolina, testified Nov. 6 to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (T&I).
