Poll Shows Americans Seek Infrastructure Improvements

May 19, 2017
The Value of Water Campaign commissioned the poll

The Value of Water Campaign released results to a new poll. Commissioned by the Value of Water Campaign, the poll found that more than any other issue, Americans want Congress and the Trump Administration to prioritize infrastructure.

A resounding 67% of respondents said rebuilding America's infrastructure should be an extremely or very important focus, substantially more support than every other issue tested. The poll also found that 82% of Americans said rebuilding water systems specifically was extremely or very important.

Radhika Fox, executive director of the Value of Water Campaign and the CEO of the US Water Alliance, said: "We are proud to be on the steering committee for Infrastructure Week again, and encouraged by the increased public awareness that investing in all types of infrastructure absolutely must be a priority for our policymakers. And thanks to our campaign supporters, there are events happening in communities across the country this week to pull back the curtain on often out-of-sight drinking water and wastewater systems so the public can better appreciate why those pipes, plants, and pumps are worthy of investment."
