Across the U.S. our water systems - from sewage overflows and water main breaks to deteriorating dams and levees - are failing because of chronic under-investment. Clean drinking water is an essential resource, yet every day much of it is at risk due to failing systems or aging, inefficient treatment facilities that cannot handle increased demand. Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Funds and the State Clean Water Revolving Loan Funds have stalled in the U.S. Senate - and investment for them has not been reauthorized since 1994.
