Dear Leaders:
I live in [YOUR CITY/TOWN] and have lived here for [HOW MANY] years.
I am writing to remind you that water is the most important infrastructure we have in our community. As a local leader, it is your responsibility to ensure our water and wastewater infrastructure is kept in good condition.
You now have an opportunity to upgrade our water infrastructure and ensure that all residents in our community have access to adequate water infrastructure using American Rescue Plan dollars. A clear stated purpose of these dollars is to provide resources for state, local, and Tribal governments to invest in infrastructure, including water and sewer. More funding for water infrastructure is likely to come in the near future.
Federal dollars for upgrading sewer and drinking water infrastructure has not flowed this freely since the 1970s, so let’s prioritize and begin planning these vital projects now with the dollars we have already received.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers 2021 annual report card, Alabama’s current wastewater infrastructure needs will cost $3.1 billion.
This kind of funding will likely not be around again for a long time. Please don’t waste this opportunity to invest in clean water through infrastructure improvements that will protect public health, create jobs, and ensure quality of life for our community’s residents for years to come!
