Bill overview
This bill extends a current law that requires the use of American-made iron and steel in drinking water infrastructure projects. It permanently strengthens the ‘Buy America’ provision within the Safe Drinking Water Act, ensuring that funds from state revolving loan funds are used to purchase iron and steel products manufactured in the United States. This applies to projects like building, repairing, or maintaining water pipes and treatment facilities. The goal is to support American steel production and promote domestic manufacturing.
