Urban Waters Federal Partnership Act of 2025
This bill establishes the Urban Waters Federal Partnership Program to improve coordination among federal agencies working on urban waterways. It designates specific urban areas (particularly overburdened or economically distressed communities) as "partnership locations," requiring each to have a local "Urban Waters ambassador" to coordinate projects. Key mechanisms include a federal steering committee (led by EPA) to guide priorities, a "Learning Network" for sharing best practices, and $10 million annually for program administration through fiscal years 2026-2030. The program aims to advance projects improving water quality, recreation, community engagement, and infrastructure in designated urban watersheds, while requiring annual congressional reports on progress.
