Increased Federal Funding for Water Projects in Drought and Disadvantaged Areas.
This law makes it easier to fund essential water infrastructure projects in areas suffering from severe drought and in historically disadvantaged communities. It raises the maximum federal share of project costs to 90%. This change aims to accelerate water system upgrades, improve water quality, and enhance supply security for residents in these vulnerable regions.
Key points
The federal government can now cover up to 90% of the costs for water projects in states experiencing severe drought.
Communities designated as disadvantaged or low-income also qualify for up to 90% federal financing for water infrastructure.
Priority funding will be given to projects located in drought areas that also serve financially distressed communities.
