Water Infrastructure Modernization: Smart Systems and Increased Funding

This Act aims to improve water supply reliability and wastewater treatment quality by promoting modern technologies. Citizens can expect more stable water supplies, reduced water losses in distribution networks, and potentially lower operational costs for local water utilities, which may lead to more stable rates. Increased funding for water projects is intended to ensure better protection of natural resources and the aquatic environment.
Key points
More money for water projects: Annual funding for the alternative water source pilot program is doubled from $25 million to $50 million and extended until 2028.
Smart Water Technology: Grants can now be used for implementing advanced digital systems, real-time sensors, and artificial intelligence to detect leaks, optimize energy use, and improve stormwater management.
Improved Infrastructure: New technologies aim to increase the resilience of water systems against failures, improve energy efficiency, and reduce water losses, directly impacting the security of supply for residents.
Exception for Operational Costs: Unlike traditional projects, grants can cover implementation, training, and operational costs related to new, intelligent water infrastructure technologies.
