Create additional subsidies for rural, small, and tribal water treatment projects.

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.

McDonald Rivet supports adding subsidies targeted to rural, small, and tribal water treatment projects.

The newest listed press release on the official site is dated June 3, 2026, and the page shows no press releases dated June 21-23, 2026.

Inference: there is no visible official-site action in the lookback window on creating additional water-treatment subsidies, so the commitment remains unresolved for this refresh.

The article reports that FY2026 federal funding bills included a $600,000 EPA State and Tribal Assistance Grant for the City of Midland to install a permanent backup generator supporting emergency drinking-water availability, and says the grant was requested by Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet.

This is concrete same-term action and a funded water-system project, but it is a local earmark-like project, not a broad created subsidy program for rural, small, and tribal water treatment projects.

McDonald Rivet announced FY2026 Community Project Funding requests for safe drinking water projects, including a Midland pump-station backup generator, new water lines for Fenton, Linden, and Mundy Township, Linden water-system modernization, Bangor Township lead and cast-iron line replacement, Buena Vista Township wastewater upgrades, and continued funding for the Flint Registry.

Shows clear effort to secure federal funding for multiple district water projects. It does not by itself prove enactment of a new subsidy program for rural, small, and tribal treatment projects.

EPA states that FY2026 allotments provide $7.2 billion for states, Tribes, and territories through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, from annual appropriations and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Official evidence that substantial FY2026 water-infrastructure subsidies are available to states, Tribes, and territories, but it does not connect those funds to McDonald Rivet creating an additional subsidy program.

EPA explains that the Safe Drinking Water Act prescribes annual DWSRF allotments for states, tribes, and territories; tribal and territorial allotments are made first, with remaining funds allotted to states, and the page lists FY2026 allotment documents.

Confirms the federal mechanism for tribal and state drinking-water funding in FY2026. It supports only partial or unresolved status because the mechanism predates McDonald Rivet and does not show she created additional subsidies.

USDA Rural Development says the Water & Waste Disposal Loan & Grant Program funds clean drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, and storm water drainage in eligible rural areas. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, nonprofits, and federally recognized tribes; eligible areas include rural towns of 10,000 or less and tribal lands in rural areas; grants may be combined with loans if funds are available.

This official program closely matches the policy area in the promise, but it is an existing USDA program rather than evidence that McDonald Rivet created additional subsidies during her House term.

McDonald Rivet's official House page provided FY2026 programmatic appropriations and Community Project Funding request forms and listed an appropriations-request contact address, while saying the office was awaiting Appropriations Committee guidance for FY2026 Community Project Funding requests.

Shows an official appropriations request process, but the page itself does not document enacted subsidy expansion or a water-treatment-specific legislative outcome.

The official press-release index shows recent releases through June 3, 2026, including items on Iran, constituent services, transportation, education, prediction markets, SNAP, the farm bill, and tax relief; the visible index does not identify a press release announcing creation of rural, small, or tribal water-treatment subsidies.

Absence from the visible official press-release index is weak negative evidence: it does not prove no action occurred, but it leaves the broad promise unresolved beyond the documented project-funding efforts.
