PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-08-27 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This bill would update a drinking-water risk and resilience program, including assistance for small water systems. It would double the dollar amounts specified for technical assistance, small-system grants and funding authorization—the amount Congress authorizes for funding. It would also replace certain references to 2020 and 2021 with 2028 and 2029. These are proposed changes.
2. Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program
(b) Technical assistance Section 1433(g)(4) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(4)) is amended by striking $5,000,000 and inserting $10,000,000. (c) Grants for small systems Section 1433(g)(5) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(5)) is amended by striking $10,000,000 and inserting $20,000,000.
(d) Authorization of appropriations Section 1433(g)(6) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(6)) is amended— (1) by striking $25,000,000 and inserting $50,000,000; and (2) by striking 2020 and 2021 and inserting 2028 and 2029.
The proposal would replace “2020 and 2021” with “2028 and 2029” in section 1433(g)(1) of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The underlying provision is not reproduced, so this change alone does not establish an effective date or termination date for the program.
(a) In general Section 1433(g)(1) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(1)) is amended by striking 2020 and 2021 and inserting 2028 and 2029.
For technical assistance, the proposal would increase the dollar figure in section 1433(g)(4) from $5 million to $10 million.
(b) Technical assistance Section 1433(g)(4) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(4)) is amended by striking $5,000,000 and inserting $10,000,000.
For grants to small systems, the proposal would increase the dollar figure in section 1433(g)(5) from $10 million to $20 million.
(c) Grants for small systems Section 1433(g)(5) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(5)) is amended by striking $10,000,000 and inserting $20,000,000.
The proposal would raise the authorization of appropriations in section 1433(g)(6) from $25 million to $50 million and replace “2020 and 2021” with “2028 and 2029.” This changes a funding authorization; it does not itself provide an appropriation.
(d) Authorization of appropriations Section 1433(g)(6) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300i–2(g)(6)) is amended— (1) by striking $25,000,000 and inserting $50,000,000; and (2) by striking 2020 and 2021 and inserting 2028 and 2029.
