On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our strong support for the reauthorization of expiring State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) funding and financing programs, including the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs).  Our nation’s water infrastructure is essential to the strength of American communities. For close to 85 years, Congress has provided federal funds to municipalities to address local water quality challenges. Since the inception of the SRFs, Congress has worked with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states to provide billions of dollars in 1 loans, principal forgiveness, and technical assistance for clean water and drinking water projects. This investment, along with the $50 billion in supplemental funding provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA), has gone a long way to ensuring water systems can continue to serve their communities.
