FUNDING RESOURCES

  • Whether it’s the astronomical energy bills, inadequate flood defence systems putting entire villages underwater, or the record levels of sewage rendering our fresh waterways no-go zones, Britain is now waking up to the harsh realities of outsourcing its utilities to private companies that exist purely to make a profit.

  • The focus on water is extreme in almost every state in America. The most critical issues tend to be water resources, aging water treatment plants, flood control, aging dam structures, and leaking water pipelines. These types of projects are usually expensive, but the good news is that there is still federal funding available.
  • For decades, the State Revolving Fund (SRF) has served as a crucial financial backbone for water infrastructure projects across the U.S., providing low-interest loans to states and municipalities to maintain and improve drinking water and wastewater systems. However, recent executive actions from the Trump administration have raised concerns that even long-standing and widely supported programs like the SRF could face fundamental changes, or even outright repeal.
  • With aging infrastructures, lean and limited personnel, lower budgets, and less accessible, often remote locations, smaller and rural water treatment plants are challenged in maintaining operations while understanding new and important technologies in improving contaminant removal in water treatment. 

  • The COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for growth in the global water market, prompting consumers to prioritize clean and safe drinking water and leading to increased demand and subsequent market expansion. This trend is expected to continue even in the post-pandemic era, as consumers remain conscious of the importance of high-quality water.
  • A new report unveiling the true value of water and introducing a new framework to accurately price water and drive investment in the sector.

  • A report from the U.S. EPA last month reveals the severity of water affordability challenges in the U.S., estimating that between 12.1 million and 19.2 million households lack access to affordable water services. The report outlines the causes, impact, and possible solutions for America's water affordability problems.

  • Water projects are likely to offer some of the most significant infrastructure contracting opportunities in 2025. While funding is still available at the federal level, public officials are rushing to upgrade water infrastructure.
  • With the U.S. EPA's PFAS rules now in place, utilities are finding themselves with a growing number of questions regarding how to treat these chemicals, the potential costs, and much more. For answers, Water Online's chief editor, Kevin Westerling, hosted an Ask Me Anything session featuring Ken Sansone, Senior Partner at SL Environmental Law Group; Kyle Thompson, National PFAS Lead at Carollo Engineers; and Lauren Weinrich, Principal Scientist at American Water.
  • The Northwest Water Facility project illuminates the many benefits of the progressive design-build process.
