Support legislation to reauthorize federal grants at $7 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2029 to help schools replace aging drinking water fountains and monitor lead levels in drinking water.

The Safe Water for Schools Act would reauthorize a federal grant program under the Safe Drinking Water Act at $7 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2029.
