The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is releasing a voluntary survey to help assess the economic and operational challenges faced by the nation’s water and wastewater systems as a result of COVID-19.
Survey objectives:
• Identify and gauge the severity of the past, current, and expected future challenges faced by drinking water and wastewater utilities as a result of the COVID-19 national health emergency.
• Collect information that would facilitate planning for a rapid response, if necessary, should there be significant future challenges in the water sector due to COVID-19.
