Lets states provide more money to help small towns and tribal areas afford clean water services.
This bill would let states provide more financial help to rural, small, and tribal communities for their water treatment systems. It sets new rules for how much money states can set aside from federal grants to help these communities afford wastewater and stormwater services, which could lower costs for residents.
Today, states can provide financial aid for water treatment, but the rules for how much they can give, especially to smaller communities, are different. This bill would set new maximums (up to 50 percent of federal grants) and minimums (at least 20 percent of federal grants) for states to use federal money for extra financial help. It would also create a specific 10 percent allocation for rural, small, and tribal water systems and clarify that this help is for ratepayers to afford services.
