Upgrades would be federally funded to improve the resiliency of drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure under bipartisan legislation recently introduced by U.S. Reps. David Valadao (R-CA) and Brian Mast (R-FL). If enacted into law, it would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act to reauthorize certain programs for water infrastructure resilience and sustainability, according to the text of the bill. “This legislation is long overdue, as our aging water systems risk both economic and environmental consequences if not addressed.”H.R. 5566 would reauthorize three water infrastructure resilience programs from fiscal year 2027 to FY 2031 at current authorization levels: the Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program at $25 million; the Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program at $50 million per year; and the Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Sustainability Program at $25 million per year. “It goes without saying that safe, reliable water infrastructure is essential for everyone’s well-being,” said Rep. Carbajal.
