A new bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives aims to modernise wastewater treatment systems nationwide by establishing a five-year federal grant programme worth $1 billion.

The source reports that Stevens sponsored a bill to create a five-year, $1 billion federal grant program for advanced wastewater treatment technologies.

Evidence

Stevens' Senate campaign says she will build on her House work in the U.S. Senate and lists Water and Infrastructure as a priority, including safe drinking water, lead pipe replacement, and PFAS contamination.

The pledge appears tied to Stevens' 2026 Senate campaign agenda, but the campaign page reviewed did not show the exact advanced wastewater grant-program wording. Because she has not yet served in the Senate as of 2026-07-03, this future-office promise remains unresolved as a Senate commitment.

Congress.gov lists Haley M. Stevens among the bill's cosponsors. The bill's latest action was House placement on the Union Calendar on 2021-06-22, and its status remained Introduced.

Stevens backed a concrete clean-water bill that included new wastewater grant programs, but H.R.1915 did not become law. This supports an effort badge but not full delivery.

Section 11 would create a Smart wastewater infrastructure technology grant program for planning, design, and construction at publicly owned treatment works, including intelligent sewage or stormwater collection systems and alternative sewer projects using real-time data.

This is the closest located legislative match to an advanced wastewater project grant program. Stevens cosponsored the bill, but the specific program was in a bill that stalled before enactment.

Section 50202 added a Wastewater Efficiency Grant Pilot Program requiring EPA to award grants to publicly owned treatment works for projects that create or improve waste-to-energy systems, including facility upgrades and other proven technologies that transform waste to energy.

The enacted infrastructure law created a wastewater-related grant program, but it was for wastewater efficiency and waste-to-energy systems, not a broad advanced wastewater treatment project grant program. This is partial delivery at most.

Section 50207 added a Small Publicly Owned Treatment Works Efficiency Grant Program for equipment replacement or repair that improves water or energy efficiency of small publicly owned treatment works.

This enacted another wastewater-treatment-works grant program. It is related to treatment works modernization, but narrower than the promise to establish advanced wastewater treatment project grants.

Congress.gov records H.R.3684 as Public Law 117-58, enacted on 2021-11-15. The CRS summary says the law provided new funding for water infrastructure among other infrastructure categories.

The enacted law confirms a successful vehicle for related water and wastewater infrastructure spending, but the official summary does not establish a specific advanced wastewater treatment grant program matching the promise.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

The promise appears to be tied to Stevens' 2026 U.S. Senate campaign, and as of 2026-07-03 she has not served in that office, so the Senate-office commitment is not yet ripe for a fulfilled/not-fulfilled judgment. In her House role, Stevens did cosponsor H.R.1915, which included the closest match, a smart wastewater infrastructure technology grant program, but that bill did not become law. She also voted for the enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which created related wastewater efficiency and small publicly owned treatment works grant programs, but those were narrower than a broad advanced wastewater treatment projects grant program. This supports serious effort and some related progress, but not full delivery of the specific future-office promise.
