LOCAL GOVERNMENT MAKES RECORD INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC WATER & SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

Local government invested a record $125.5 billion in municipal water and sewer systems in 2017 according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Census. The data shows that local governments are making significant investments to upgrade and operate their water and sewer systems, provide basic service and achieve national clean and safe water goals. Local government relies on customer fees to generate the revenues needed to accomplish these goals, and the federal government has retreated from providing financial assistance.
