Subject: ACT NOW: Fund $200M For Federal Wastewater Monitoring by 9/30
Dear [Recipient's Title and Name]:
As your constituent, I urge you to act swiftly to continue funding wastewater monitoring before the current investment expires on September 30th. 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 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 to protect Americans, not abandon them.
Thank you for your commitment to protecting our communities.
Sincerely,
[Constituent Name]
