Would set aside billions to help Tribal communities get clean, reliable drinking water and better sanitation.
This bill would set aside nearly $3.9 billion over five years to help Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian communities get reliable, clean drinking water and better sanitation. It would provide new funding for building and maintaining water systems, offer technical help, and make it easier for these communities to get federal loans and grants. This aims to address the current problem where many households on Tribal lands lack basic water and sanitation services.
Today, many households on Tribal lands lack reliable water and sanitation, and existing federal funding for infrastructure is often hard to access or unavailable to the Native Hawaiian Community. After this bill, Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations would gain expanded eligibility for Department of Agriculture water and waste loans and grants, and receive nearly $3.9 billion in new authorized funding over five years for construction, technical assistance, and ongoing maintenance of water and sanitation systems.
