45-second read · 4 questions answered below
The bill updates the Clean Water Act to expand which projects qualify for additional subsidization through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. It adds asset management software, system performance analysis software, and advanced digital construction management tools as eligible technology investments. This clarifies that loan funds can support modern digital systems, not just physical construction like pipes or treatment plants.
Local governments, water utilities, and engineering or technology companies that build or supply water infrastructure software would be directly affected. Taxpayers and water customers could see indirect effects through changes in service costs or efficiency.
Officially listing these tools as eligible could make it easier for communities to justify using loan funds on software rather than only physical infrastructure. The change is narrow, updating a single provision of existing law rather than creating a new program.
