Summary of Bill S 5014

Bill 118 s 5014, also known as the Water Project Navigators Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a program within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would provide assistance to communities in navigating the complex process of securing funding for water infrastructure projects.

The bill aims to address the challenges that many communities face in accessing the necessary resources to improve their water systems. By creating a team of "navigators" within the EPA, the bill seeks to streamline the process for communities to apply for and receive funding for water projects.

The navigators would be responsible for assisting communities in identifying funding opportunities, completing grant applications, and coordinating with various federal agencies to ensure that projects are successfully funded and implemented. Additionally, the navigators would provide technical assistance to communities to help them address any challenges they may encounter during the project development and implementation process. Overall, the Water Project Navigators Act is designed to improve access to funding for water infrastructure projects and help communities across the country improve the quality and reliability of their water systems. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress and is currently being considered for passage.
