Description:The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), H.R. 3684, provides more than $50 billion to the EPA to improve drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure across the nation. This is the largest investment in drinking water and related water uses in American history, signaling a major step forward for public health in relation to water infrastructure.
Clean, accessible water is vital to health and well-being. Communities across the U.S. need safe water not only for drinking, but also for activities such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning. However, much of the water infrastructure in the U.S. is decades old. Over the years, this aging infrastructure has created various public health issues linked to water contamination as well as inequitable access.
The American Public Health Association provides logistical support to the Partnership Council funded through cooperative agreement U38OT000294 between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Public Health Association.
