President Biden Introduces Plan For $111B In Water Infrastructure Investment
The US Water Alliance has advocated for increased investment in water infrastructure since 2015 through our Value of Water Campaign. Water is essential to everything we do, to every community, business, and home in the United States.
Today President Biden released an ambitious infrastructure plan, the American Jobs Plan” that included an unprecedented and historic $111B investment in water infrastructure. It is heartening to see water be prominently featured in the plan after years of water infrastructure being out of sight and out of mind. We commend today’s commitment to water infrastructure as a reflection and recognition of political will to take action to begin to close the water infrastructure investment gap.
