Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill would double the yearly funding for a federal program that helps local communities find new ways to get and manage water. It increases the budget from $25 million to $50 million and keeps the program running through 2028.
• It allows cities to use grant money for high-tech tools like artificial intelligence and sensors. These tools can monitor water quality in real time and find leaks in underground pipes without having to dig them up.
• Local water departments would get more money to upgrade their old systems. Families might see more reliable water service and fewer service interruptions caused by sudden pipe bursts or water main breaks.
• Many water systems in the United States are old and lose a lot of water through hidden leaks. By using smart technology, cities can save money on chemicals and electricity while making sure they do not run out of water during droughts.
• The plan specifically mentions using smart meters to help people in lower-income neighborhoods save water. This could help families lower their monthly utility bills by tracking their water use more accurately.
