What it does
The Assistance for Rural Water Systems Act of 2025 would amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to provide additional financial assistance—including grants, zero- or low-interest loans, loan forgiveness, and refinancing—to rural water, wastewater, and waste disposal facilities. The bill targets eligible entities facing financial hardship or needing to maintain public health and safety, with special consideration for those in disadvantaged or economically distressed areas, as determined by a new residential affordability indicator based on water costs relative to median household income. Assistance cannot be applied to loans already provided under the new grant or loan program.
