Subject: ACT NOW: Fund $200M For Federal Wastewater Monitoring by 9/30
Dear [Recipient's Title and Name]:
As your constituent, I want to thank you for your leadership in support of critical wastewater monitoring that keeps Americans safe. I urge you to continue to support this vital tool by appropriating $200 million before the current investment expires on September 30th.
Wastewater monitoring is an essential and cost-effective tool that provides early detection of new and emerging diseases, so we can respond quickly to threats, and help 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 is already protecting millions of American families, but without $200 million in federal funding for wastewater monitoring in FY26, we risk losing a proven system that helps keep our nation safe.
Now is the time to strengthen proven, cost-effective strategies, not abandon them. I urge your continued support to help keep American communities safe by getting wastewater funding over the finish line and ensuring $200 million is secured in FY26 appropriations.
Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to protecting our communities.
Sincerely,
[Constituent Name]
