Protecting America's Drinking Water from Extreme Temperatures Act of 2026
The Protecting America's Drinking Water from Extreme Temperatures Act of 2026 expands the existing Safe Drinking Water Act to include extreme temperatures as a specific risk factor for midsize and large drinking water systems. By amending Section 1459F, the bill requires these systems to consider heat-related threats alongside traditional hazards like flooding when planning infrastructure improvements. Additionally, the legislation updates the program's funding timeline, shifting the covered period from 2022 through 2026 to 2027 through 2032.
