Making Our Case On Capitol Hill
Posted on May 20, 2015
Clean Water Council The Clean Water Council (CWC) is a group of national organizations representing underground construction
contractors design professionals, manufacturers and suppliers, labor unions and other committed to ensuring a
high quality of life through sound environmental infrastructure. Working in concert, CWC's 39 national
organizations, advocate federal legislation and policies that will promote clean water and improve the nation's
failing infrastructure.
CWC members and legislative staff are on Capitol Hill meeting with
members of Congress from around the country. Members are
confronting legislators and their staff’s face-to-face, making the
case for critically needed federal water infrastructure funding.
Among the issues they will address with lawmakers are those we
have covered here before: the importance of lifting the cap on
private activity bonds for water and wastewater infrastructure
projects; the compelling need to increase EPS’s Clean Water State
Revolving Fund and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund; and the
urgency of supporting public private partnerships and other
innovative financing mechanisms for water infrastructure projects.
As we have pointed out repeatedly before, federal spending on
U.S. water infrastructure has been declining at a time when we
desperately need it to be increasing, not only for public health but
for our economy.
CWC members and staff will be emphasizing that point to Con-
gress in person this week, and we urge you to join us—
get involved by contacting your own Senator or Representative
and insisting that he or she take action on this critically important
issue!

OSHA issues final rule to protect construction
workers in confined spaces
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a final rule to increase protections for construction workers in confined spaces. People working in confined spaces (such as manholes, crawl spaces, and tanks) face life-threatening hazards.
"In the construction industry, entering confined spaces is often necessary" said Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez. "This new rule will significantly improve the safety of construction workers who enter confined spaces. In fact, we estimate that it will prevent about 780 serious injuries every year."
The rule will provide construction workers with protections similar to those manufacturing and general industry workers have had for more than two decades, with some differences tailored to the construction industry. These include requirements to ensure that multiple employers share vital safety information and to continuously monitor hazards – a safety option made possible by technological advances after the manu-facturing and general industry standards were created.
For more information, see the news release and visit OSHA's webpage on Confined Spaces in Construction.
