National Association of Water Companies to address Congressional leaders

09 March 2010

The National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) Annual Report to Congressional Leaders involved scheduled meetings with elected officials on Capitol Hill

NAWC members will call on Congress to lead on water issues by: Supporting the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investment Act; Developing an infrastructure bank to support maintenance and modernization of the infrastructure system to meet growing demands, and reauthorizing the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund and the Water Infrastructure Financing Act to enable private water service providers to extend much-needed wastewater solutions and service to under-served communities and non-compliant systems.
 

Michael Deane executive director of NAWC said: “As service providers, our members maintain a shared focus with elected officials: our 74 million customers are their constituents. We have a common goal to protect public health and water resources for the American people. Following the regulatory guidelines put forth by Congress and the Administration, our members implement the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act and provide quality and reliable water service all-day-every-day.”
