Write to your member of Congress: Support the WATER Act!
Everyone deserves access to clean, safe water at rates they can afford. Yet since the 1970s, the federal government has dramatically reduced its funding for water infrastructure upgrades, putting the health of entire communities in danger, especially communities of color. While the landmark Bipartisan Infrastructure law of 2021 marked a shift from decades of federal disinvestment, it falls short of the federal support and funding needed to fully upgrade our aging water and wastewater infrastructure.
Right now, Congress is considering a bold and vital bill to reinvigorate our public water systems and advance water justice called the Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity, and Reliability (WATER) Act. The WATER Act will provide much-needed investment in our water systems and help ensure clean, safe, and affordable public water for all.
