What this bill does
H.R. 10151, the Water Authority Cybersecurity Protection Act, would amend the Safe Drinking Water Act's Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program. It updates the program's authorization period from fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to fiscal years 2028 and 2029, and increases several funding limits: the cap on technical assistance funding would rise from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, the cap on grants for small water systems would rise from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000, and the overall authorization of appropriations for the program would rise from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000.
The bill affects public water systems—particularly small water systems—that rely on federal support to assess and address risks to their infrastructure, including risks related to resilience and, per the bill's title, cybersecurity. By extending the authorization period and raising funding ceilings, the bill would allow the Environmental Protection Agency to provide more technical assistance and grant funding to these systems in fiscal years 2028 and 2029, subject to future appropriations decisions by Congress.
The bill was introduced on August 27, 2026, by Rep. Chris Deluzio, with Rep. Finstad as a cosponsor, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. As an introduced bill, it would need to be considered and approved by that committee, pass the full House, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President before becoming law. No further action has yet occurred.
