National Water Week Designation: Focus on Clean Water Access and Infrastructure.
The Senate designated a week in April as "National Water Week" to emphasize the critical importance of safe, affordable, and clean drinking water and sanitation for every community. The resolution highlights that millions of Americans still lack basic water infrastructure and calls for continued federal investment in research and development. This action signals support for local utilities struggling with aging systems, emerging contaminants, and climate resilience challenges.
