This article discusses funding for the rehabilitation of the nation's drinking water infrastructure. The article lists the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program, and the Water Infrastructure Financing Act as sources of funding, along with the use of public‐private partnerships (PPPs) to access private sector capital for public infrastructure projects. Private activity bonds (PABs) are another funding source when used in conjuction with PPPs. The article also mentions the 2002 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Gap Analysis, which identified potential funding gaps between projected needs and spending from 2000 through 2019.
