## Summary

**A 30% investment tax credit for qualifying water reuse projects** would encourage businesses and cities to invest in equipment and systems that recycle water for industrial use. The proposal targets onsite recycling at factories, data centers, and food processors and supports municipal recycling projects that supply recycled water for production. - Businesses: Industrial, manufacturing, data centers, and food processors would be eligible for a 30% credit on the cost of qualifying water-reuse equipment they place in service. Construction of credited projects must begin before Jan 1, 2033. - Municipal systems: Cities and municipal water providers that build or expand recycling infrastructure to secure recycled water for production would qualify for the investment credit. - Transfers to utilities: If a company transfers qualifying project property to a utility under a written agreement, the company can still claim the credit and is treated as having placed the property in service at transfer. The transferor’s basis is used for the credit and the utility may not claim the same property again.
