This bill extends and increases funding for a federal water recycling and reuse grant program that was originally established in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The legislation doubles the program's authorization from $450 million to $1 billion for one grant program and from $500 million to $1 billion for another, providing states and localities with more federal money to invest in water recycling projects. The bill also extends the deadline for the program from five years to six years after the original law was enacted, giving communities additional time to apply for and complete water recycling initiatives. These changes affect water agencies, municipalities, and states looking to develop large-scale water recycling and reuse infrastructure, particularly in water-stressed regions. The bill essentially signals increased federal commitment to helping communities build sustainable water supplies through recycling technology and infrastructure.
