Unlikely to pass

While water infrastructure often has broad appeal, this bill is in the very early stages and most individual proposals do not make it through the full committee process.

Key Points

This bill changes a temporary test program into a permanent grant system. It helps local communities find new ways to get clean water, especially in areas facing shortages or long periods of dry weather.
It updates the rules for which projects can get money. To qualify, a project must be part of a plan that was made with public input and looks at future water needs or ways to handle droughts.
The bill keeps the program running for an extra five years. Instead of ending in 2026, the government would be allowed to provide these water grants through the year 2031.
The Environmental Protection Agency would be required to send a report to Congress every year. This report must explain which projects received funding and how they are helping solve local water problems.
