Water Efficiency Act: Grants for Conservation, Leak Repair, and Low-Income Upgrades.
This law establishes new grant programs to help US local governments and public water systems conserve water and improve infrastructure. Citizens can benefit from financial incentives to replace old fixtures (like toilets and showerheads) with water-efficient models, with a focus on providing at least 40% of funds to low-income households. The legislation also funds leak detection and repair in public water systems and supports the adoption of modern, water-saving plumbing codes.
