Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to experts from the EPA & various nonfederal groups, the nation's drinking water & wastewater systems face increasing challenges over the next several decades in maintaining& replacing their pipes, treatment plants, & other infrastructure. But there is neither consensus on the size & timing of future investment costs nor agreement on the impact of those costs on households & other water ratepayers. This study provides background information on the nation's water systems, presents estimates of future costs for water infrastructure under two scenarios -- a low-cost case & a high-cost case -- & discusses broad policy options for the federal government. An objective, impartial analysis, without recommendations. Tables.

Book excerpt: Communities will need an estimated $300 billion to $1 trillion over the next 20 years to repair, replace, or upgrade aging drinking water & wastewater facilities; accommodate a growing pop'n.; & meet new water quality standards. This report examines: (1) how the amount of funds obtained by large public & private drinking water & wastewater utilities -- those serving populations greater than 10,000 -- through user charges & other local funding sources compare with their cost of providing service; (2) how such utilities manage existing capital assets & plan for needed capital improvements; & (3) what factors influence private companies' interest in assuming the operation or ownership of publicly owned drinking water & wastewater facilities.

Book excerpt: Policymakers are giving increased attention to issues associated with financing and investing in the nation's drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, which take in water, treat it, and distribute it to households and other customers, and later collect, treat, and discharge water after use. The renewed attention is due to a combination of factors. These include financial impacts on communities of meeting existing and anticipated regulatory requirements, the need to repair and replace existing infrastructure, and concerns about paying for security-related projects. The federal government has a long history of involvement with wastewater and drinking water systems, with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) having the most significant role, both in terms of regulation and funding. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also plays an important role in rural communities through its water and wastewater loan and grant programs. These programs have been popular; however, states, local communities, and others have asserted that various program gaps and limitations may be diminishing their potential effectiveness. They also point to the emergence of new infrastructure needs and issues. A number of interest groups and coalitions have issued reports on infrastructure funding needs and related policy issues, as have EPA and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). They present a range of estimates and scenarios of future investment costs and gaps between current spending and future costs. EPA and CBO, in particular, caution that projections of future costs are highly uncertain, and that funding gaps are not inevitable. Increased investment, sought by many stakeholders, is one way to shrink the spending gaps, but so, too, are other strategies such as asset management, more efficient pricing, and better technology. Congressional interest in these issues has grown for some time and is continuing in the 110th Congress, partly in response to urgings of stakeholder groups. In each of the past three Congresses, House and Senate committees acted on legislation to reauthorize and modify infrastructure financing programs in the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, but no bills were enacted. The Bush Administration has addressed water infrastructure in a number of general ways, but has not offered legislative proposals of its own. EPA's principal initiative has been to support strategies intended to ensure that infrastructure investment needs are met in an efficient, timely, and equitable manner. This report identifies a number of issues that have received attention in connection with water infrastructure investment. It begins with a review of federal involvement, describes the debate about needs, and then examines key issues, including what is the nature of the problems to be solved; who will pay, and what is the federal role; and questions about mechanisms for delivering federal support, including state-by-state allotment of federal funds. Congressional and Administration activity on these issues from the 107th to the 109th Congresses also is reviewed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. drinking water and wastewater systems encompass thousands of treatment facilities, collection facilities, and related works, and well over a million miles of pipes and conduits. While the investment, made over decades, in these facilities is enormous, even more funds will be needed in the future to support efforts to maintain clean and safe water. The estimated cost of the investments needed to repair, replace, or upgrade aging facilities, accommodate the nation's growing population, and meet new water quality standards ranges from $300 billion to $1 trillion over the next 20 years, according to various estimates.
Download or read book Water Infrastructure written by U. S. Government Accountability Office ( and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and water utility industry groups, communities will need as much as $1 trillion during the next 20 years to repair, replace, or upgrade aging drinking water and wastewater facilities; accommodate a growing population; and meet new water quality standards. GAO found that the amount of funds obtained from user charges and other local sources of revenue was less than the full cost of providing service--including operation and maintenance, debt service, depreciation, and taxes--for more than a quarter of drinking water utilities and more than 4 out of 10 wastewater utilities in their most recent fiscal year. GAO also found that more than a quarter of utilities lacked plans recommended by utility associations for managing their existing capital assets, but nearly all had plans that identify future capital improvement needs. A privatization agreement's potential to generate profits is the key factor influencing decisions by private companies that enter into such agreements with publicly owned utilities or the governmental entities they serve, according to the companies GAO contacted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EPA has estimated that a potential gap between future needs and current spending for wastewater infrastructure of $150 billion to $400 billion could occur over the next decade. A number of entities are involved in planning, financing, building, and operating this infrastructure. Some of these stakeholders have suggested a variety of approaches to bridge this potential gap. One such proposal is to establish a clean water trust fund. In this context, the auditor was asked to: (1) obtain stakeholders' views on the issues that would need to be addressed in designing and establishing a clean water trust fund; and (2) identify and describe potential options that could generate about $10 billion in revenue to support a clean water trust fund.
