Of interest (for utility contractors) the bill appropriates for FY 22-26 $12.838B for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), starting at $2.127 billion in FY22 and going up to $2.828B in FY26, and $35.713B over five years for the Safe Drinking Water SRF, starting at $6.702B in FY22 and going up to $7.403B in FY26. That means that it will make “real” money available (not just authorize it). The bill is both an authorization and an appropriation bill. On August 10, the Senate passed its bipartisan core infrastructure bill – with all Democrats and 19 Republicans supporting – totalling $550B in new spending for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022- 26. This month, two things are top of mind-how much money will end up in the federal infrastructure bill and how are we going to be able to deal with the critical need for more manpower to accomplish the tasks outlined in the spending plans.Īs to the first question, we are relying on reports from our Washington representation, the Clean Water Construction Coalition (CWCC) and their chief legislative advocate, Sante Espositio, with Key Advocates.
