This bill extends a federal grant program that helps communities build large-scale water recycling and reuse projects. Specifically, it amends an existing program created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by doubling the authorization period from 5 years to 10 years, giving the program twice as long to operate and distribute competitive grants. The bill affects water utilities, municipalities, and states seeking federal funding to develop water recycling infrastructure that reduces reliance on freshwater sources. While the text does not specify new funding amounts, the extended timeline allows the existing program to operate through 2035 instead of 2030, providing more time for communities to apply for and complete water recycling projects. The bill was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
