HR 7397 United States House · 119th Congress

Puerto Rico Water Infrastructure Resilience Act

This bill requires the Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Puerto Rico's water and wastewater infrastructure needs within 180 days of enactment. The assessment must evaluate current conditions, ongoing projects under the 1992 Water Resources Development Act, and resilience gaps related to natural disasters and system failures. The Corps must then submit a detailed report to Congress outlining vulnerabilities, project status, modernization needs, and recommendations for improving federal-local coordination. The bill directly affects Puerto Rico's water infrastructure systems and the agencies managing them, including the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. It is a procedural requirement for a study and report, not a funding or implementation measure.
