Tribal Water Infrastructure Grants Expansion Act

This bill changes how federal clean water funds are set aside for Indian Tribes under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Each year, the Environmental Protection Agency would reserve the greater of 2 percent of the clean water state revolving fund money or $30 million for grants to tribal entities for water treatment projects and for training and technical assistance. The bill also authorizes $500 million per year from 2026 through 2031 for additional grants, made in cooperation with the Indian Health Service. Grant recipients would not have to pay a share of project costs, no more than $2 million per year could go to training and technical assistance, and existing wage and American iron and steel requirements would apply to construction projects.
