Healthy H2O Act

The Healthy H2O Act (S.806) provides federal grants to help rural households, renters, multi-unit property owners, and child-care facilities with contaminated drinking water. It funds certified point-of-use or point-of-entry water filtration systems, including installation, maintenance, and water testing, for those with health contaminants like lead or arsenic. Grants cover costs up to reasonable limits but exclude households earning over 150% of the median rural income in their state. The program requires third-party certification for filters, installers, and testing labs to ensure effectiveness and safety.
