If enacted, the legislation will assure a dedicated funding source for the construction and rehabilitation of wastewater plants, expand eligibility under the Clean Water Act to use SRF funds for water conservation measures, including replacement of fixtures; expand eligibility under the Clean Water Act to use SRF funds for piping of irrigation canals; and authorize funding to help small rural water systems to maintain and upgrade their wastewater systems.
Should the legislation pass Congress, the infrastructure projects of this magnitude carry significant economic opportunity for the PHCP/PVF industry, leading ASA to become a very active member of the WIN (Water Infrastructure Network) coalition.
