New Grant Program for Healthy Drinking Water in Homes

This act establishes a new grant program to help rural residents purchase, install, and maintain water quality improvement systems in their homes. The goal is to ensure access to safe drinking water, especially where contaminants are present and traditional infrastructure projects are too slow.
Key points
Grants available for water filters and their installation for homeowners, renters, and childcare facilities in rural areas.
Financial assistance covers purchase, installation, and maintenance of point-of-entry and point-of-use water treatment systems.
The program prioritizes those relying on private wells and aims to improve local capacity to respond to water contamination.
Support is available for households with incomes not exceeding 150% of the median nonmetropolitan household income for their state.
