The EPA must establish a grant program for repairing, replacing, or upgrading septic tanks and drainage fields.

The bill amends the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to make permanent a grant program for household water well systems in rural areas.

The bill revises requirements concerning the clean water state revolving fund (SRF) and the drinking water SRF.

The bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require the EPA to make grants to local educational agencies for: (1) infrastructure to ensure that drinking water in schools is lead free, and (2) testing drinking water in schools for lead.
