Bill > HR5566

This bill aims to extend the authorization periods for several key water infrastructure programs by five years, effectively updating multiple sections of federal environmental law. Specifically, the bill extends the Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Sustainability Program under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act from 2026 to 2031, and modifies two programs under the Safe Drinking Water Act - the Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program and the Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program - by similarly extending their authorization to 2031. These programs are designed to help water utilities and communities improve the resilience and sustainability of their water infrastructure, helping them better prepare for challenges like climate change, aging infrastructure, and environmental shifts. By extending these program authorizations, the bill ensures continued federal support for critical water infrastructure improvements across the United States.
