The agency has delivered to Congress its 2004 Clean Watersheds Needs Survey that summarizes the results of the agencyﾒs 14th national survey on the needs of publicly owned wastewater treatment works. The study estimates $134.4 billion will need to be spent for wastewater treatment and collection systems, and another $54.8 billion for combined sewer overflow corrections. This article will summarize this EPA report.
