Water Infrastructure Modernization: Cleaner Water, Lower Costs for Citizens
This act aims to modernize water and wastewater systems in the U.S. to ensure better drinking water quality and more efficient wastewater management. Through new technologies like smart sensors and artificial intelligence, citizens can expect more reliable water supplies, reduced waste, and potentially lower water bills. The act provides grants to communities for these purposes, prioritizing small and tribal communities.
Key points
Grants for smart wastewater systems: Support for communities to improve wastewater treatment efficiency and stormwater management, potentially reducing flood risks and pollution.
Drinking water infrastructure modernization: Funds for leak detection, water quality monitoring, and network optimization, ensuring safer and more reliable tap water.
Support for small and tribal communities: A portion of the funds is specifically allocated to smaller towns and Native American tribes to help them modernize their water systems.
Water and energy savings: New technologies are intended to reduce water and energy consumption, which could lead to lower bills for residents and better environmental protection.
