TELL CONGRESS: Don’t Let Americans Lose Access to Critical Health & Security Protections
Wastewater monitoring is a proven and cost-effective tool for keeping Americans safe by detecting infectious disease outbreaks and defending against biosecurity threats.
But without urgent action from Congress, current funding for this critical tool has expired, leaving the health and security of millions of Americans at risk.
If Congress does not act now to continue funding wastewater monitoring across our country, Americans will lose access to a proven early health warning system, and our country will be less prepared to respond to emerging threats to our national security. American families cannot afford that.
Will you send a letter to protect American families and communities?
Tell Congress to fund wastewater monitoring NOW before it's too late.
Subject: ACT NOW: Fund $200M For Federal Wastewater Monitoring Dear [Recipient's Title and Name]:
As your constituent, I urge you to act swiftly to continue funding wastewater monitoring. Wastewater monitoring is an essential and cost-effective tool to detect new and emerging diseases early, so we can respond quickly to threats and keep our families and communities safe.
Investment in wastewater monitoring is not only critical to protecting the health of American families and our national security, it also helps prevent costly – and deadly – health emergencies. It allows decision-makers to act quickly based on real-time information and ensures communities have the tools they need to detect emerging health threats before they become tragedies.
Thanks to bipartisan support, this important tool was already protecting millions of American families, but now with the initial investment having just expired we need $200 million in federal funding for wastewater monitoring in FY26 or we risk losing a proven system that helps keep our nation safe. Now is the time to strengthen proven, cost-effective strategies to protect Americans, not abandon them.
Thank you for your commitment to protecting our communities.
Sincerely,
[Constituent Name]
