To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to make certain technology investments eligible for additional subsidization, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• Congress is considering a bill that would help local water utilities pay for modern technology. This includes software used to manage equipment, analyze operations, and plan construction projects more efficiently.
• The goal is to help communities save money and resources. By using these digital tools, water systems can better track their pipes and pumps, find leaks faster, and manage energy use more effectively.
• If passed, this would make it easier for local governments to get extra financial help, like grants or forgiven loans, for projects that focus on saving water, reducing energy costs, or managing rainwater runoff.
• This update changes the rules for a major federal water fund. It ensures that "smart" technology, like digital management systems, is eligible for the same extra financial support as traditional construction projects.
