💡 Investing in Clean Water for Rural Communities: A Critical Step Forward As the U.S. EPA announces $30.7 million in grant funding for small drinking water and wastewater systems, particularly in rural areas, we must ask: ❔ ❔ ❔ What are the long-term benefits for these communities? Small systems serve over 90% of the U.S. population but often face overwhelming challenges—aging infrastructure, financial constraints, and high operator turnover.
