Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to strengthen cybersecurity protections for water authorities across the country by increasing funding for the Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program. The legislation doubles funding for technical assistance to water systems from $5 million to $10 million annually and doubles grants available to small water systems from $10 million to $20 million per year. The bill also increases the program's overall authorization for appropriations from $25 million to $50 million for fiscal years 2028 and 2029. These changes affect public water utilities and small water systems that rely on federal support to upgrade their infrastructure and defend against cybersecurity threats. The expanded funding aims to help water authorities improve their resilience and protect critical water supply systems from potential cyberattacks.
