What does this do?
This bill directs federal money and support toward building, repairing, and maintaining clean drinking water and sanitation systems on Tribal lands. It also sets aside funds for hands-on expert help to guide Tribal governments and Native Hawaiian organizations in applying for funding and managing water systems. Eligible recipients would not be required to provide matching funds or prove financial need.
Who does it affect?
The people most directly affected are members of federally recognized Indian Tribes and the Native Hawaiian Community who currently lack safe, reliable water access. Tribal governments and Native Hawaiian organizations would apply for and manage the funding.
Why does it matter?
Congress found that nearly half of households on Tribal lands currently lack reliable access to safe water. This bill is a response to that gap in water infrastructure.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Up to $718M/year authorized, 2026–2030
- IHS gets largest share at $500M/year
