The bill text names Luján as an introducer and would amend the Internal Revenue Code to create a qualifying water reuse project credit equal to 30 percent of qualified investment. Covered projects include onsite water recycling systems in industrial, manufacturing, data center, or food processing facilities.

The legislative text confirms the promised policy mechanism: a federal investment tax credit for water reuse infrastructure used by manufacturers and other industrial entities.

Assessments

The promise was to introduce and support legislation creating a federal tax incentive for manufacturers and industrial entities to invest in water reuse systems and infrastructure, not necessarily to secure enactment. Evidence shows Lujan introduced the Advancing Water Reuse Act in the Senate on May 13, 2026, during his same Senate term, and the bill text and official summary match the promised tax credit and covered water reuse infrastructure. Because the promised action was introduction/support and that occurred, this counts as delivered despite no evidence of passage.

The promise was to introduce and support legislation creating a federal tax incentive for industrial water reuse investment, not necessarily to secure enactment. In the same Senate term, Ben Ray Lujan introduced the bipartisan Advancing Water Reuse Act with Katie Britt, and the described bill directly matches the promised policy mechanism and target beneficiaries. The congressional record confirms the bill was active, though not enacted as of the evidence window; because the commitment was framed around introduction and support, that is sufficient for delivery.
