Bill 118 hr 10389, also known as the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendment, aims to make several changes to the existing Safe Drinking Water Act. The bill specifically focuses on adjusting the limits for technical assistance, grants for small systems, and the authorization of appropriations for the Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program.
One of the key provisions of the bill is to increase the limits for technical assistance provided under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This would allow for more resources and support to be available to communities in need of assistance in maintaining safe drinking water systems.
Additionally, the bill seeks to increase grants for small systems, which are often struggling to meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. By providing more financial support to these small systems, the bill aims to ensure that all communities have access to clean and safe drinking water.
Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to authorize appropriations for the Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program. This program focuses on improving the resilience of drinking water infrastructure to natural disasters and other threats, ensuring that communities are better prepared to handle potential risks to their water supply.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 10389 aims to strengthen the Safe Drinking Water Act by providing additional support and resources to communities in need of assistance in maintaining safe and reliable drinking water systems.
