New York’s water infrastructure needs estimated at $80B over 20 years – Times Union

Andrew Cuomo proposed $2 billion in his budget to be used over five years to upgrade and protect drinking water but some estimates for the total cost of water infrastructure needs in the coming decades are 40 times that amount.

Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, R-Long Island, suggested at an unrelated event Monday that the Legislature and governor should enter into a memorandum of understanding on how to spend this year’s proposed investment.
