Bill > HR8032

This bill establishes the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program, which will provide grants to eligible entities (states and Indian tribes) to help low-income households pay for drinking water and wastewater services. The program is modeled after the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act and defines "low-income household" based on various government assistance programs or household income thresholds. The bill also authorizes the transfer of the program to the Environmental Protection Agency after a final report is submitted to Congress. The program is authorized to receive $1.1 billion in funding.
