Water Infrastructure Assistance Reauthorization Act
This bill extends the funding period for existing USDA water and wastewater infrastructure grants from 2019-2023 to 2026-2031. It directly affects rural communities and tribal areas that rely on these federal grants to upgrade drinking water systems, sewage treatment, and waste disposal facilities. The key provision amends a specific section of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to adjust the grant program's authorization period. This change ensures continued access to funding for critical water infrastructure improvements without altering the program's scope or eligibility.
