Bill overview
This bill, the Border Water Infrastructure Improvement Act, directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a program that provides financial assistance to states, local governments, Native American tribes, and water districts near the U.S.-Mexico border. This assistance can be used for projects like building or improving drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities, but excludes projects for new water supply or those that negatively impact water flow. The EPA will prioritize projects that benefit both sides of the border and address urgent public health and environmental needs, with a 50% federal cost share for projects in Mexico, subject to potential waivers.
