Tribal Access to Clean Water Act of 2023

The Tribal Access to Clean Water Act of 2023 provides dedicated federal funding to address water infrastructure gaps in Native communities. It allocates $100 million annually (2024-2028) through the USDA for technical assistance and water system construction, $20 million for Indian Health Service sanitation facilities, and $100 million for operation/maintenance of existing water systems. The bill specifically targets tribes and Native Hawaiian communities, requiring no matching funds and prioritizing the most urgent needs. This directly supports tribes in accessing existing infrastructure funding, developing self-sustaining water utilities, and maintaining facilities for public health and safety.
