This Insight highlights water infrastructure programs and authorities administered by these three agencies that are included in four bills: * Moving ForwardAct (FR. 2, as passed by the House), * Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (WRDA2020; FR. 7575, as passed by the House), * Drinking Water InfrastructureAct of 2020 (DWIA2020; S. 3590, as reported to the Senate), and * America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2020 (AWIA2020; S. 3591, as reported to the Senate). Environmental Protection Agency EPA administers several wastewater and drinking water infrastructure programs. These programs include the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs-both of which are implemented by the states-and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program, among others. Wastewater AWIA 2020 would direct EPA to establish (subject to appropriations) several grant programs for wastewater infrastructure projects. Program objectives vary and include resiliency and efficiency at wastewater facilities and support for projects in lower-income or smaller-population communities. AWIA would reauthorize appropriations for the CWSRF and require states to use not less than 10% of their annual grants to provide additional subsidies (e.g., grants or loan forgiveness) to eligible recipients.
