Cover of publication US EPA. (2002). "The Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Gap Analysis." (PDF) (54 pp, 2.3 MB) Publication No. EPA/816/R-02/020.

EPA conducted a study to identify whether there is a quantifiable gap between projected clean water and drinking water investment needs over the twenty-year period from 2000 to 2019 and current levels of spending. The analysis found that a significant funding gap could develop if the nation’s clean water and drinking water systems maintain current spending and operations practices. This report provides methods for calculating the capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) gaps for clean water and drinking water.
