H.R. 5566 extends federal water infrastructure programs by five years, pushing their expiration dates from 2026 to 2031. The bill reauthorizes three key programs: the Clean Water Infrastructure Resiliency and Sustainability Program, the Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program, and the Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program. These programs help communities upgrade and strengthen their water systems to handle environmental challenges and ensure safe drinking water. The legislation affects water utilities and municipalities across the country that rely on federal support for infrastructure improvements. By extending these programs to 2031, the bill provides longer-term certainty for communities planning water system upgrades and resilience projects.
