National Survey Shows
Public Support for Clean
Water Trust Fund The Luntz Research Companies and Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates,
Inc. released
a national survey
(PDF) on the public's support for clean
and safe water in early March. The results of the survey show
overwhelming support for long-term federal funding of the nation's
clean water infrastructure. The survey, which encompasses seven
states across the country, found that 86% of the public support
legislation by the U.S. Congress that would create a long-term,
sustainable and reliable trust fund for clean and safe water
infrastructure. A memo describing the survey's findings has been
forwarded to all members of Congress. In the survey press memo,
Luntz stated that this issue is "very personal to voters because of
the importance of clean and safe water to their daily lives. This is
not a local issue because Americans understand that water has no
local boundaries. This is one of those areas where Americans demand
that Washington take responsibility."
