S. 3590, the Water Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Act of 2026, extends federal funding programs that help communities build more resilient and sustainable water systems. The bill reauthorizes three existing programs: the Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Sustainability Program, the Drinking Water Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program, and the Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program. These programs provide grants and support to water utilities and municipalities for projects that strengthen infrastructure against climate impacts and other challenges. The bill extends the authorization period for all three programs from fiscal years 2027 through 2031, replacing the previous authorization that ended in 2026. While the bill itself does not specify new funding amounts, it ensures these established water resilience programs can continue operating and supporting communities nationwide through 2031.
