SAFE Taps Act

This bill would direct the Environmental Protection Agency to set up a grant program, if Congress provides funding, for local governments, public water systems, and federally recognized Indian Tribes. Grants could pay to replace lead service lines, certain galvanized steel or iron service lines, and drinking water mains that are not lead free. Grants could also cover planning and design, building or updating inventories of lead service lines, and restoring work sites afterward. Workers on construction funded by these grants would have to be paid at least the local prevailing wage under the Davis-Bacon Act.
