Supporting Our Nation’s Aging Water Infrastructure

The United States’ drinking water infrastructure has 2.2 million miles of pipe with a C-minus rating from the American Society of Civil Engineers. This relatively poor assessment of a complex system of assets indicates the tremendous challenges this country faces when considering the need for clean, reliable water. The IIJA provides the potential for more than $72 billion toward clean water programs for drinking water, stormwater and wastewater. 

This Policy Brief describes the programs modified and created by the IIJA that support water infrastructure.
