[WATERFORALL] Take Action – Stop the Senate's handout to the

water baron

 

 

 

 

News from Public Citizen's Water For All Campaign

July 19, 2005

 

Call your senator TODAY!

 

The Water Infrastructure Financing Act (S.1400) requires

" restructuring " of public utilities and opens the door for

private water companies to access public funds. The Act will be

presented for a mark up in the Committee on Environment and Public

Works

on July 20.

 

If your Senator is on the Committee on Environment and Public Works,

call today and ask them to:

 

* oppose restructuring requirements, which include requirements to

privatize and develop public-private partnerships (sec. 107 (1) (A)

(ii)),

* oppose funds for private utilities and corporations (sec. 103 (8)

(A)),

* support an increase for state revolving funds for water and

wastewater in order to fund critical infrastructure investments, and

* support the proposal to establish a trust fund for water and

wastewater infrastructure.
