The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has been encouraging Congress to include investment in drinking water infrastructure in its economic stimulus package. AWWA claims that a $10 billion investment in drinking water infrastructure would result in the creation of over 400,000 jobs. This includes about 90,000 directly created construction jobs.
