This Insight highlights water infrastructure programs and authorities administered by these agencies that are included in three bills: * Moving Forward Act (H.R. 2; Rules Committee Print 116-54), * Drinking Water Infrastructure Act of 2020 (DWIA2020; S. 3590), and * America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2020 (AWIA2020; S. 3591). The final section of the Insight identifies other water-related topics addressed in the Moving ForwardAct and AWIA 2020, including authorities for other agencies. Environmental Protection Agency in Moving Forward Act, DWIA 2020, and AWIA 2020 EPA administers several wastewater and drinking water infrastructure programs. These 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 InnovationAct (WIFIA) program, among otherprograms. Wastewater AWIA 2020 would direct EPAto establish (subject to appropriations) severalnew 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.
