Creates a new program to help communities develop better water projects
This bill would create a new program to help communities, especially those that are disadvantaged or rural, plan and carry out important water projects. It would set aside $15 million each year for six years from the government's budget year 2027 through 2032 to fund expert 'navigators' who would assist with grant writing, project management, and technical advice. This means more communities could improve their water supplies and local environments.
Today, there is no federal program specifically designed to help communities, especially those with limited resources, plan and carry out complex water projects. After this bill, the Department of the Interior would create a Water Project Navigators Program. This program would provide grants and expert assistance to help eligible groups develop multi-benefit water projects, with $15,000,000 authorized each year from the government's budget year 2027 through 2032.
