Survey: 66% of Americans say water requires more federal funding

The American Business Water Coalition (ABWC), a national organization comprised of water-reliant businesses, has released a “U.S. Water Infrastructure Funding and Business Risks Survey,” examining voter opinions across a wide spectrum of water issues.

The survey focused on water issues such as water quality, federal infrastructure funding and perceived risk to U.S. businesses and local communities from potential water-related crises. A key finding of the ABWC survey showed that a large majority of voters – 79 percent of Americans – are more likely to vote for political candidates who support increasing funding for clean and reliable drinking water.
