America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA 2018) pri-
marily addresses the civil works program of the Army Corps of En-
gineers (Corps). The bill also authorizes key drinking water and
wastewater infrastructure under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA) that are administered by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It also addresses cer-
tain water supply and storage programs of the Bureau of Reclama-
tion (BOR).
In addition to authorizing Corps activities and projects, the
Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, P.L. 113-
121 (WRRDA 2014), and the Water Infrastructure Improvements

fied programs under the CWA and SDWA. Similarly, in the 115th
