AI Summary
This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to expand and modernize water infrastructure technology funding and capabilities. The legislation introduces a comprehensive definition of "intelligent water infrastructure technology" that encompasses a wide range of advanced technological approaches for water management, including real-time monitoring systems, predictive maintenance tools, artificial intelligence-driven optimization, and advanced digital design technologies. The bill increases the annual grant authorization from $25 million to $50,000,000 and extends the program through 2028. Critically, the bill allows grants to be used for engineering, design, construction, implementation, training, and operations related to adopting intelligent water infrastructure technologies, with a specific prohibition on using funds for planning, feasibility studies, operation, or maintenance. The legislation requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to submit detailed annual reports to Congress describing funded projects, their resilience improvements, and recommendations for program enhancement. The bill aims to modernize water infrastructure by promoting technological innovations that can improve water quality monitoring, reduce operational costs, enhance system reliability, and support water conservation efforts, with particular attention to supporting disadvantaged communities.
