Small communities would get more help to improve their drinking water for longer.
This bill would make sure small communities and their water systems keep getting federal help to improve their drinking water quality. It would extend two important programs until the government's budget year 2031 and allow previously overlooked unincorporated communities to get this assistance.
Today, federal technical assistance for small public water systems and aid for small and disadvantaged communities are authorized only until the government's budget year 2026. Unincorporated communities are not explicitly eligible for this assistance. With this bill, both programs would be extended until the government's budget year 2031, and unincorporated communities would become explicitly eligible for assistance if identified by their State and county governments.
