Evidence

EPA’s FY 2026 allotment memo says the 2026 Appropriations Act still uses a mandatory 10% Clean Water Act additional-subsidy structure for CWSRF base funding, and states there are no changes in additional subsidy authorities from FY 2025 to FY 2026.

Current federal CWSRF funding remains an annual appropriations structure with a 10% mandatory subsidy, not a permanent 20% set-aside.

Williams introduced H.R.2921, the WISE Act, in April 2023 to require states to reserve a share of Clean Water State Revolving Fund capitalization funds for green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency, or other environmentally innovative activities. That is a serious legislative attempt matching the promise, but the bill remained at introduced/subcommittee referral status and did not become law. Current FY 2026 EPA CWSRF guidance still reflects annual appropriations and existing subsidy/set-aside structures, including a mandatory 10% congressional additional subsidy and no change in subsidy authorities from FY 2025 to FY 2026, not a permanent 20% environmentally friendly infrastructure set-aside.
