AI Summary

This bill provides grants to gateway municipalities and the city of Boston for the replacement of lead water distribution pipes. The Department of Environmental Protection will develop a pilot program to be administered by the Clean Water Trust, which can use funds from the Water Pollution Abatement Revolving Fund to provide these grants. The grants are intended to ensure an adequate supply of safe drinking water, and municipalities must distribute the funds to residents whose annual income is at or below the median income for their municipality. All applications for these grants are subject to the state's lead paint law, and no applications can be granted after June 30, 2026.
