Bill > HRes274

This resolution expresses support for designating the week of April 6 through April 12, 2025, as "National Water Week" while highlighting critical water infrastructure challenges in the United States. The resolution acknowledges that over 2 million people lack access to running water or wastewater services, and many small, rural, and disadvantaged communities struggle to invest in water infrastructure while maintaining affordable rates. It emphasizes the importance of federal investment in drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater programs, and underscores key water sector challenges such as aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants, extreme weather resilience, drought, and population shifts. The resolution also stresses that water research and development can create more resilient water systems, generate jobs, improve public health, and promote equitable solutions. By supporting the designation of National Water Week, the resolution aims to draw attention to the critical need for ongoing investment, innovation, and support in water infrastructure and management across the United States.
