Strengthen the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to reduce project costs for local communities.

The Affordable Clean Water Infrastructure Act would strengthen the CWSRF by increasing the amount a state can contribute to reduce project costs for local communities and creating an additional subsidy for rural, small, and tribal water treatment projects.

The bill would make the federal-state clean water financing program more affordable by increasing state cost contributions and adding subsidies for certain projects.

The official House homepage lists a May 22, 2026 press release titled "Rep. McDonald Rivet Helps Pass Bipartisan Funding for Roads and Bridges Through Committee."

Recent committee-level infrastructure work, but it does not show a Clean Water State Revolving Fund change or other direct delivery on the water-cost claim.

The article says McDonald Rivet asked for federal funding for water projects including a backup generator at the Valley Drive Pump Station, new water lines, lead and aging pipe replacement, wastewater upgrades, and continued Flint Registry funding.

Concrete water-infrastructure advocacy, but it is a funding request for specific projects rather than a demonstrated effort to strengthen the Clean Water State Revolving Fund itself.

EPA describes the CWSRF as a federal-state partnership providing low-cost financing to communities for water quality infrastructure projects, and reports $194 billion to communities and 53,000 low-cost loans since 1988.

This confirms the promise target: strengthening CWSRF would directly affect low-cost financing for local water projects. It does not show McDonald Rivet delivered a change to the program.

The report says McDonald Rivet announced federal funding requests for safe drinking water projects, including a backup generator at Valley Drive Pump Station, new water lines, lead and aging pipe replacement, wastewater upgrades, and $5 million for the Flint Registry.

Shows district-level water infrastructure advocacy during her House term, but these are project funding requests rather than a completed strengthening of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
