Utility Construction industry 2025 Priorities
At the 2025 Washington Summit, NUCA and the utility construction industry have several "asks" for House and Senate lawmakers. This handout summarizes these critical legislative needs and our top priorities.
Read our coalition letter urging Congress's appropriation committees to fully fund in FY2026 the Clean Water & Drinking Water SRFs.
Workforce Development / Labor Issues Fact Sheet
The construction industry is facing a labor shortage over the next several years, and seeks to promote more workforce development programs and initiatives. Immigration reforms and mitigating the damaging effects of project labor agreements are also on the discussion menu.
Lead Pipe Replacement Fact Sheet
9.2 million lead service lines remain in use in U.S. cities and should be replaced immediately for improved public health.
Private Activity Bonds (PAB) Fact Sheet
New private investment funds could be tapped for infrastructure investments if needed reforms are passed by Congress. Billions of dollars could be made available for infrastructure funding if federal legislation initiates regulatory changes to private activity bond state volume caps.
Implementing The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
Investments in American water and wastewater infrastructure through the IIJA will deliver economic and public health benefits to every community. Congress has important oversight responsibilities to fulfill to implement fully the $1.2 trillion in projects, including the potential $200 billion in utility construction projects. Lead-pipe service line replacement should also be fully funded. The fight to renew infrastructure and SRF funding begins today.
Building America’s Energy Potential: Offshore Resources
Offshore wind is America’s next major energy source, representing an excellent opportunity to create new jobs and bolster the economy. NUCA and subsurface utility contractors build critical aspects of the onshore distribution infrastructure for these modern electric power generation systems.
