The EPA’s Fiscal Year 18-22 Long Term Transformation Strategy
takes into account the goals of the SWDA to bring to us a cleaner and safer environment for water delivery. These include:
These include:
- Agency Priority Goal (APG) 2.1: Reduce the number of community water systems out of compliance with health-based standards from 3,508 to 2,700
- Agency Priority Goal (APG) 2.2: Increase by $40 billion the non-federal dollars leveraged by EPA water infrastructure finance programs (2019 APG= increase by $16 billion)
- Agency Priority Goal (APG) 2.3: Reduce the number of square miles of a watershed with surface water not meeting standards by 37,000 square miles
| Annual Performance Goals Aligned with Long Term Performance Goal Targets 2019-2020 |
|||
| 2019 | 2020 | ||
| 1.2.1 | Number of community water systems out of compliance with health-based standards | 3,803 | 3,280 |
| 1.2.2 | Billions of non-federal dollars leveraged by EPA water infrastructure finance programs (CWSRF, DWSRF, and WIFIA | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| 1.2.3 | Reduction in the number of square miles of a watershed with surface water not meeting standards (cumulative) | 9,000 | 18,000 |
It will be interesting to know how much progress was actually made in terms of these goals in 2019. Current data for 2019 does not yet appear to be listed.
