Bill > HR6804

This bill, the Onsite Wastewater Recycling Efficiency Act, aims to improve the use of decentralized and alternative wastewater systems, such as onsite and shared systems, to provide affordable wastewater treatment and recycling to communities in the United States. The key provisions include requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update information on its programs to include cost-effective alternative wastewater systems, and ensuring that certain federal funding sources, like the Clean Water State Revolving Funds and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA), require recipients to consider decentralized wastewater systems as an alternative. The bill also requires the EPA to report to Congress every three years on the use of decentralized wastewater technologies, their cost-saving and environmental benefits, and the actions taken to assist states in identifying eligible projects using these technologies.
