Mandating Water Efficiency and Doubling Funds for Resilient Water Infrastructure.

This Act requires all federally funded water infrastructure projects (like treatment plant repairs or expansions) to prioritize and use modern resource preservation techniques, such as water reuse and energy efficiency. Crucially, it significantly increases the authorized funding for programs dedicated to making clean water infrastructure more resilient and sustainable. This aims to ensure more reliable water services and lower long-term operational costs for communities.
Key points
Federal loan recipients for water projects must now evaluate and use resource preservation techniques (water/energy efficiency, stormwater mitigation) to the maximum extent possible.
Annual funding for the Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency program is doubled from $25 million to $50 million (FY 2026-2031).
Increased funding authorization ($40 million annually) for the Wastewater Efficiency Grant Pilot Program.
