Monday, October 19, 2026
Today's briefing brings you 1 story across drinking water from the utilities, authorities and state agencies that run American water. Leading today: AMWA, NACWA urge Congress to pass water infrastructure package - Water Finance & Management.
AMWA and NACWA are urging Congress to approve a water infrastructure package, so the story is about federal funding for utility systems rather than a project already underway. It affects drinking-water and wastewater utilities that rely on federal aid for capital work and financing, but the excerpt does not say what is included in the package or whether any money is guaranteed.
