NACWA Testifies on Need for Clean Water Trust Fund; Supports Blumenauer BillThe National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) discussed the need for a clean water trust fund to address the large wastewater and drinking water funding gap facing our municipalities at a hearing today before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment. Testifying on behalf of NACWA was Thomas Walsh, the engineer-director and treasurer of the Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District in Worcester, Mass., who said his utility has had to raise rates 450 percent since 2000 to cover debt service on a loan for upgrades at its treatment plants.
### NACWA represents the interests of more than 300 public agencies and organizations that have made the pursuit of scientifically based, technically sound and cost effective laws and regulations their objective. NACWA members serve the majority of the sewered population in the United States and collectively treat and reclaim more than 18 billion gallons of wastewater daily. |
