Private Activity Bonds

Support Removal of Water & Wastewater from Under the Private Activity Bond Volume Cap

  • Private activity bonds (PABs) encourage state and municipal governments to collaborate with private partners, making infrastructure repair and construction more affordable for municipalities and ultimately for users or customers. 
  • The annual volume cap on PABs hinders their use for water and wastewater infrastructure. In 2007, only 1.3% of all PABs were issued to water and wastewater projects.
  • Other governmentally owned facilities such as airports, ports, housing, high-speed intercity rail, and solid waste disposal sites are exempted from the volume cap.
