The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provided $50 billion to the EPA to strengthen the nation’s drinking water and wastewater systems, the largest single investment in water infrastructure the federal government has ever made. However, this investment represents only about 5% of the national funding need ($1.2 trillion) just to maintain our water systems in a state of good repair. BIL funding will sunset after FY26 unless further action is taken.
