Show Notes

How are IIJA legislated funds unfolding? From California to Maine, total announced funding associated with the legislation had reached US$186.3 billion. Of this total, US$10.5 billion has been announced for water-designated projects. At the same time, the U.S. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Water has released implementation guidelines for the Build America, Buy America (BABA) domestic sourcing requirements that were enacted as part of the IIJA.

Bluefield's water experts– Reese Tisdale, Eric Bindler, Lauren Balsamo– share their perspectives on the recent water allocations and policy developments, providing companies across the value chain a better understanding of how and where the dollars are flowing.
