NUCA Statement On WRDA Passage
Utility Contractors Association Applauds House, Congressional Action
The chief executive officer of the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA), Doug Carlson, issued the following statement on the U.S. House passage of the Water Resources Development Act of 2024, specifically the House Amendment to S. 4367, the Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024:
“This bipartisan bill will deliver water infrastructure resources to many critical projects around the nation. In a time where fiscal austerity is being discussed, it is important for both House and Senate lawmakers to remember that thousands of American communities depend on federal resources that NUCA members use to build modern subsurface infrastructure systems that deliver clean water and sewer services to tens of millions of Americans.
“Without federal investment in WRDA and many other infrastructure programs, this nation’s economy would come to an abrupt and unnecessary halt. The passage of WRDA 2024 should be seen as an important first step towards next year’s Congressional and Trump Administration support for American water infrastructure projects.”
