This bill would create jobs by helping local communities upgrade or replace aging and damaged water and sewer systems. &nbsp;Low cost financing would save homeowners and businesses money and put construction workers back on the job as repairs and new projects are&nbsp;accelerated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;Investing in water supply and treatment systems is common sense, enabling communities to fix aging systems, expand capacity, or meet clean water standards,&rdquo; said Merkley. &ldquo;These investments will put folks to work now and pave the path for economic development.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>WIFIA sigue el modelo de la exitosa Autoridad de Innovaci\u00f3n y Financiaci\u00f3n de Infraestructuras de Transporte (TIFIA). WIFIA crear\u00eda un mecanismo financiero dentro de la EPA para brindar acceso a capital de menor costo para inversiones en infraestructura h\u00eddrica. La legislaci\u00f3n ofrece una forma comprobada, moderna y eficaz de ayudar a aumentar la inversi\u00f3n en nuestra infraestructura y al mismo tiempo reducir los costos para los gobiernos locales y los contribuyentes.<\/p>\n<p>Pr\u00e1cticamente en todos los condados de Oreg\u00f3n, las comunidades enfrentan problemas inmediatos en sus sistemas de suministro y tratamiento de agua. En algunos casos se trata de reparar y reemplazar infraestructuras obsoletas. En otros, se trata de cumplir con los est\u00e1ndares modernos de agua potable y tratamiento de residuos. En otros casos, se trata de ampliar la capacidad para atender a las comunidades en crecimiento y a la capacidad industrial. La Sociedad Estadounidense de Ingenieros Civiles ha estimado que la falta de inversi\u00f3n en infraestructura h\u00eddrica ahora aumentar\u00e1 significativamente los costos en el futuro, y que la brecha entre la inversi\u00f3n real anual de Estados Unidos y la inversi\u00f3n \u201cnecesaria\u201d aumentar\u00e1 en $90 mil millones para 2040.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">-30-<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC &ndash;&nbsp;Today, Oregon&rsquo;s Senator Jeff Merkley introduced the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2013 (WIFIA).
