Canada’s New Water Agency and the 'Big Beautiful Bill': What's Next for Water Funding in North America?
From bold new initiatives in Canada to proposed federal budget cuts in the U.S., major policy shifts are reshaping the water landscape across North America. In this episode, Bluefield’s water experts unpack what these changes mean for funding, regulation, and the future of water infrastructure.
Canada’s launch of a national Water Agency and CAD$650M Freshwater Action Plan marks a turning point, while in the U.S., the “Big Beautiful Bill” and EPA workforce cuts raise big questions about the direction of federal support. Bluefield's President & CEO Reese Tisdale and Senior Research Director Greg Goodwin dig into the potential impacts for utilities, technology providers, and the broader market.
Key questions explored in this episode:
What’s happening in Canada, and why does it matter?
What’s the status of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and what does it mean for water?
How will State Revolving Fund (SRF) cuts impact utilities and the market?
EPA layoffs—what does this mean for water science and regulation?
