AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan program. It defines "small community" as a place with 25,000 or fewer people, lowers the minimum project cost for small communities from $5 million to $1 million, lets the EPA give small communities engineering and financial planning help, and requires an outreach plan within 180 days. It adds State-led storage projects, transferred works, and certain non-federally owned authorized water projects as eligible, and allows loans of up to 55 years for projects with a useful life over 35 years. It authorizes $68 million a year for the EPA and $15 million a year for the Army Corps of Engineers for fiscal years 2025 through 2029, and requires studies and reports to Congress.
