The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $3.6 billion in new funding under the Biden-Harris administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to upgrade water infrastructure in Iowa and Kansas.
Combined with $2.6 billion announced earlier this month, the total $6.2 billion in investments, slated for fiscal year 2025, will help communities across the country upgrade water infrastructure that is essential to safely managing wastewater, protecting local freshwater resources and delivering safe drinking water to homes, schools and businesses.
This funding is part of a five-year, $50 billion investment plan for water infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — the largest investment in water infrastructure in American history
“Water keeps us healthy, sustains vibrant communities and dynamic ecosystems, and supports economic opportunity. When our water infrastructure fails, it threatens people’s health, peace of mind, and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s historic investment in water, EPA is working with states and local partners to upgrade infrastructure and address local challenges — from lead in drinking water, to PFAS, to water main breaks, to sewer overflows and climate resilience. Together, we are creating good-paying jobs while ensuring that all people can rely on clean and safe water.”
$50 billion for water infrastructure is a joke. It should be $200 Billion or more. The CHIPS act was in the $100s of billions but water nah haha humans can be so dumb at times.
