Water reuse has the potential to unleash opportunity and efficiency for U.S. manufacturing, data centers, and other industrial entities. WateReuse Association has worked with bipartisan cosponsors in the House of Representatives to introduce H.R. 2940, the Advancing Water Reuse Act, which would establish a 30 percent tax credit to help industrial entities scale up their use of recycled water. The original cosponsors for the act have circulated a “Dear Colleague” letter, urging their fellow representatives to join as cosponsors of the bill. In conjunction with the Dear Colleague letter from the bill’s champions, we are asking WateReuse members to contact their representatives and urge them to cosponsor the Advancing Water Reuse Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.
How to Help:
- Update and send our House template letter to congressional staff for your representatives and urge them to sign on to the legislation. It is best to email the DC-based tax staff for the congressional office while also cc’ing your in-district / in-state contact. If you need help identifying the right staff person and contact information, please contact Greg Fogel at gfogel@watereuse.org or 805-570-3038.
- If you’d prefer to make a phone call, call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to reach your representatives. Ask for the staffer who handles tax issues, describe the bill and its relevance to the state/district, and make the ask.
- Point your representative to the Dear Colleague letter being circulated by the bill’s original cosponsors.
