Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program Establishment Act
This bill establishes the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program to help qualifying households pay for drinking water and wastewater services. It directly affects low-income households meeting specific criteria - those receiving certain federal benefits (like SNAP, SSI, or energy assistance) or with income below 150% of the federal poverty level. The program provides federal grants to states and tribes, which then distribute funds to water systems to cover past-due bills or regular rates for eligible households. The program will transfer administration to the Environmental Protection Agency after a specified infrastructure report is submitted to Congress.
