Critical Water Supplies for Resilient Communities Act

This bill changes a federal program under the Clean Water Act that gives grants for alternative water source projects, turning it from a pilot program into a standing grant program. It redefines "critical water supply needs" as current or expected water supply needs identified in a plan or assessment developed with public input, covering local, statewide, or regional water supply or local or regional drought resiliency. It requires the Environmental Protection Agency to report to House and Senate committees each year, when the President's budget is submitted, on each project funded in the prior fiscal year and how it meets those needs. It also extends the program's funding authorization from 2026 to 2031.
