Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would create a new federal tax credit for businesses that invest in water reuse projects. The credit would equal 30 percent of the cost of qualifying equipment and structures placed in service during the year. Eligible projects include onsite water recycling systems at industrial, manufacturing, data center, or food processing facilities; switching from freshwater to recycled water from a city provider; and building or expanding city water recycling systems. A business that transfers qualifying property to a utility could claim the credit instead of the utility under a written agreement. Projects must begin construction after the law takes effect and be placed in service within 10 years.
