Communities would get more funding for clean water, flood protection, and safer dams.
This bill would set aside billions of dollars for water infrastructure projects across the country from 2027 to 2030. It would help communities get safer drinking water, manage flood risks, and restore natural environments. It also updates rules for how the Army Corps of Engineers works with local partners.
Today, many communities struggle with aging water infrastructure, lead pipes, and new pollutants like PFAS. After this bill, there would be significantly more federal money and streamlined processes to help local governments upgrade their drinking water and wastewater systems, replace lead pipes, and better protect against floods and cyber threats.
