Legislation to create WIFIA passed by US Senate Committee
WASHINGTON — A US Senate Committee passed legislation that would create a Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Authority (WIFIA), a development the American Water Works Association (AWWA) hailed as pivotal in confronting America’s trillion-dollar water infrastructure challenge, according to a press release.
AWWA, a chief proponent for the creation of WIFIA for several years, is urging water utilities and businesses across the water sector to actively support the bill as it heads to the full Senate, stated the release. [Related content: New legislation could help move water infrastructure forward]
“Today represents a pivotal moment in assuring America’s water infrastructure challenge is no longer buried,” said AWWA Executive Director David LaFrance. “WIFIA would help communities repair more critical water infrastructure at a lower cost. Ultimately, WIFIA would benefit everyone who pays a water bill.”
