Advancing Water Reuse Act

Key Points

• This bill creates a new tax credit to help pay for water recycling systems. Businesses could get back 30 percent of what they spend on equipment that cleans and reuses water instead of using fresh water.
• The credit applies to factories, data centers, and food processing plants. It also helps cities build or grow their own water recycling systems to provide water for local businesses.
• The goal is to save fresh water, like groundwater, by using recycled water for making goods or providing services. This helps protect the water supply for homes and farms during droughts.
• The program would last until the end of 2032. Any project that starts before that date would be eligible for the savings.
• By making it cheaper to recycle water, the bill aims to reduce the strain on local water systems. This could help prevent water shortages in areas where water is hard to find.
