Key Points

  • Ms. Cortez Masto introduced a bill to keep a federal grant program running for an extra five years to help pay for big water recycling projects.
  • The program provides money to local governments and water districts to help them turn wastewater into clean water that can be used again for things like farming, cooling power plants, or watering parks.
  • By extending the program's timeline from five years to ten years, cities and towns will have more certainty and time to plan and finish these expensive, long-term construction projects.
  • This effort aims to help communities, especially in dry areas, create a more reliable water supply so they are less dependent on rainfall or shrinking rivers.
  • The funding comes from a previous infrastructure law, and this change ensures the support doesn't run out before many planned projects can get started.
