The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to the water improvements program by allowing for additional options in the use of financial assistance provided to qualified owners of residential real property. Specifically, it would insert provisions to enable the use of funds for "water hauling for water delivery" and for acquiring or installing storage tanks for receiving and storing water delivered through water hauling.

Additionally, the bill would remove the restriction that limits grant recipients' use of funds solely to deepening existing drinking water wells. Instead, it would broaden the scope to include the installation of storage tanks and plumbing or replumbing for water delivery systems, thereby enhancing the flexibility and utility of the financial assistance provided under the program.
