The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has set the stage for a new, larger wave of water infrastructure investment. The US$1.2 trillion bill, of which US$550.0 billion is new funding, points to new focus areas in water, including emerging contaminants, disadvantaged communities, and resiliency.
While much of the US$55.0 billion focus in water has been placed on State Revolving Fund Programs (US$23.4B), lead service lines (US$15.0B), and PFAS/emerging contaminants (US$10.0B), a wider-angle view signals additional funding within the transportation and energy sectors.
In examining the new legislation, Bluefield's team of water experts has identified 103 water-related line items, totaling over US$132.0 billion of appropriated funding. In categorizing the line items, the appropriations have been segmented into seven water-focused themes: Remediation & Water Quality, Resiliency, Equity, Energy, Western Water Infrastructure, Research, and Cybersecurity.
