In coordination with the American Business Water Coalition (ABWC) and other regional organizations, the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River (ICPRB) released a new report highlighting the significant and dire financial consequences facing the Washington, D.C. region in the event of a disruption to the area’s sole water supply source: the Potomac River. Key findings in the report expose the extreme economic impacts, including which business sectors are more at risk should the region’s water source be compromised, amongst other critical discoveries.
ABWC CEO, Mae Stevens, alongside other D.C. leaders, participated in ICPRB’s press conference on Sept. 24, 2024, announcing the report’s rollout. Stevens specifically urged Congress to increase federal funding for water infrastructure projects to ensure water source resiliency for the region and nationwide.
