Grants for clean drinking water filters in rural and low-income areas.

This Act establishes a new grant program to help rural and lower-income residents purchase, install, and maintain home water filtration systems. The goal is to quickly address immediate drinking water contamination issues, such as lead or arsenic, where large infrastructure projects are delayed. The program also covers the cost of water quality testing so citizens can assess their specific risks.
