Law

This bill aims to keep federal funding available for water and waste systems in rural areas. It updates an existing law to make sure these grants can continue to be handed out for several more years.
Small towns and rural communities are the most affected. These grants help them pay for clean drinking water, safe trash disposal, and reliable sewer systems that might otherwise be too expensive for local taxpayers to build or fix on their own.
If passed, the program would be authorized to run from 2026 through 2031. This gives local leaders more certainty that federal help will be available when they plan long-term construction projects to keep their community's water safe and clean.
