Show full summary
- Families and ratepayers: Customers served by privately owned treatment works could see more projects funded that improve treatment, reduce water demand, cut energy use, and boost security.
- Qualified nonprofit entities: Would be eligible for SRF grants or loans for construction, acquisition, or upgrades of treatment works, subject to the Administrator's determination of qualification.
- State SRF administrators and system owners: States must ensure assistance primarily benefits service recipients not shareholders, and cannot provide duplicate subsidization to nonprofits or privately owned treatment works under the new provisions.

Clean Water funds for private systems and nonprofits
If enacted, states could use the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to help privately owned treatment plants make upgrades, build new capacity, save water, cut energy use, or improve security. The state would only approve aid if the work mainly helps the customers served, not the owners or shareholders. The bill would also let qualified nonprofit groups get fund help to build or improve treatment works and similar projects, with the Administrator deciding who is qualified. States could not add extra subsidized aid on top for these recipients under the fund’s special subsidization authority. Actual projects would depend on each state’s decisions.
