Protecting America's Drinking Water from Extreme Temperatures Act of 2026
To amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to authorize grant funds under the Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program to be used to increase resilience to extreme temperatures, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to expand an existing grant program for drinking water system infrastructure resilience to include extreme temperatures as a covered risk. The Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program currently provides grants to help drinking water systems prepare for natural hazards and extreme weather events; this bill adds extreme temperatures to the risks that grant funds can address. The bill also extends the program's authorization period from 2026 to 2032, providing continued funding for resilience improvements.
