Earlier this month, a report from the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America’s infrastructure an overall grade of C-. The nation’s water infrastructure fell below that average with a C- for drinking water infrastructure, a D+ for wastewater infrastructure, and a D for stormwater infrastructure. Although these grades represent a modest improvement over the 2017 grades, there is much work to be done.
Climate change makes the investment in water-related infrastructure even more imperative. Changing natural conditions demonstrate the vulnerability of existing infrastructure and the need for resiliency. Drought, floods, fires, warming water temperatures, and other extreme weather patterns are occurring more often, and they present significant challenges to those responsible for providing drinking water and for managing wastewater and stormwater.

Wyden, Merkley Keeping Oregon and 2021 in Sight
December 23, 2020
Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee and Ron Wyden today announced a wide range of investments that will benefit Oregon and are included in the fiscal year 2021 spending bill that has passed the Senate. The next step is for the president to sign the bill into law.
Taken together, the investments announced by the senators impact virtually all communities in every corner of the state, addressing some of Oregonians’ biggest challenges. The provisions highlighted include only a fraction of those in the omnibus package that benefit Oregon, including health care, education, science and conservation, and more.
