WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Hoy, el Senado de EE. UU. aprob\u00f3 la Ley de Innovaci\u00f3n para el Financiamiento de la Infraestructura del Agua (WIFIA, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) del Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley como parte de la Ley de Desarrollo de los Recursos H\u00eddricos de 2013. El programa crear\u00eda empleos al proporcionar pr\u00e9stamos de bajo costo a las comunidades para proyectos de infraestructura para reparar o mejorar sus sistemas de agua.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cUn buen trabajo con un salario digno es un pilar fundamental del sue\u00f1o americano\u201d, dijo el Senador Merkley. \u201cInvertir en nuestra infraestructura de agua es una forma inteligente de crear buenos empleos. Este proyecto de ley ayudar\u00e1 a las comunidades grandes y peque\u00f1as de Oreg\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
WIFIA sigue el modelo de la exitosa Autoridad de Innovaci\u00f3n y Finanzas de Infraestructura de Transporte. WIFIA crear\u00eda un mecanismo de financiamiento para brindar acceso a capital de menor costo para inversiones en infraestructura de agua. El programa ofrece una forma comprobada, moderna y efectiva de ayudar a aumentar la inversi\u00f3n en nuestra infraestructura mientras se reducen los costos para los gobiernos locales y los contribuyentes.<\/p>\n
Pr\u00e1cticamente en todos los condados de Oreg\u00f3n, las comunidades enfrentan necesidades inmediatas de mantenimiento en sus sistemas de suministro de agua y tratamiento de aguas residuales. En algunos casos, se trata de reparar y reemplazar la infraestructura obsoleta. En otros, se trata de cumplir con los est\u00e1ndares modernos de agua potable y tratamiento de desechos. En otros casos, se trata de expandir la capacidad para proveer a las comunidades en crecimiento y la capacidad industrial. Sin embargo, las fuentes tradicionales de asistencia para las necesidades locales de agua no satisfacen las necesidades de las comunidades, dej\u00e1ndolas con pocas opciones m\u00e1s que aumentar las tarifas por m\u00e1rgenes extraordinarios para pagar el agua. WIFIA ofrecer\u00eda a estas comunidades pr\u00e9stamos de bajo costo para llenar el vac\u00edo.<\/p>\n
La Sociedad Estadounidense de Ingenieros Civiles (ASCE) calific\u00f3 recientemente los sistemas de agua potable y aguas residuales de Estados Unidos con una "D". ASCE tambi\u00e9n estim\u00f3 que la falta de inversi\u00f3n en infraestructura de agua ahora aumentar\u00e1 significativamente los costos m\u00e1s adelante, con la brecha entre la inversi\u00f3n real anual de Estados Unidos y la inversi\u00f3n "necesaria" aumentando en $90 mil millones para 2040 si no se hace nada.<\/p>\n
