On the latest episode of the Debtwire Municipals Muni Lowdown podcast, Managing Editor Paul Greaves speaks with reporters Deb Pace and Kunal Kamal about infrastructure and regulatory issues in the water sector, as well as a debt ceiling update.

Deb Pace kicks off the podcast by highlighting the uptick in water infrastructure investments lately, with a focus on upgrades that can either help agencies stockpile water in preparation for drought situations or improve water and wastewater supply systems.

Deb continues with a discussion of how these projects are being financed.

Deb provides an overview of drought and water projects in the State of Texas, as well as highlighting a few bond measures passed early in May.

Deb switches to a discussion of recent regulatory developments in the water sector.

Kunal concludes the podcast by providing an update on the debt ceiling negotiations as the “drop dead date” of June 1 approaches.

As reporters for Debtwire Municipals, Kunal Kamal covers tax-backed credits in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, stadium finance, regulatory developments, and relevant federal actions affecting the municipal market, while Deb Pace covers transportation, tax-backed credits in the State of Illinois, and utilities.
