ACWA Urging Members to Support Preserving Federal Water Funding by ACWA Staff Jun 10, 2025 Water News WASHINGTON, D.C. — ACWA is encouraging member agencies to contact their elected officials in the U.S. Congress and urge them to preserve funding for critical water infrastructure programs. On May 30, the Trump Administration released details regarding its fiscal year 2026 budget. The proposal serves as a recommendation to the U.S. Congress for federal agency funding. Proposed cuts target funding available to water agencies through the Environmental Protection Agency and Bureau of Reclamation. Federal investments are essential to strengthening public health, supporting economic growth, and ensuring that water remains accessible and affordable. More information, a customizable template letter and links to contact California’s senators and congressional representatives is available in a Federal Alert, which was distributed June 5.
