H.R. 5730 reauthorizes a federal grant program that helps municipalities address sewer overflows and manage stormwater runoff more effectively. The bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to provide $350 million annually in federal funding for these projects, covering fiscal years 2026 through 2031. Cities and towns use these grants to upgrade aging sewage systems, reduce pollution entering waterways during heavy rains, and implement water reuse programs. This legislation ensures continued federal financial support for local water infrastructure improvements that protect public health and environmental quality. The bill was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
