Show full summary
It would explicitly make asset management software, operational analysis software, and advanced digital construction management systems eligible for additional subsidization under Section 603(i)(1)(B). It would also tie subsidy eligibility to projects that improve water efficiency, energy efficiency, mitigate stormwater runoff, or are cost-effective and sustainably planned, designed, and constructed.
- Local water and sewer utilities could apply for extra subsidy to buy and use the named software and digital construction tools for planning and operations.
- Software and digital construction vendors would gain clearer eligibility for projects seeking additional subsidized support for those tools.
- Communities could see more projects prioritized for water and energy efficiency and stormwater runoff mitigation because those goals are now linked to subsidy eligibility.

More help for water utility tech upgrades
If enacted, state clean water loan programs could give extra subsidized help for certain technology. Utilities and project sponsors would qualify when they use asset management software, operational analysis software, or advanced digital construction management systems. The tools must save water or energy, cut stormwater runoff, or support projects that are cost‑effective and sustainable. This would apply under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
