15 U.S.C. 9058b (U.S. Code, current edition)
Summary
The current-edition U.S. Code text of 15 U.S.C. 9058b, Funding for water assistance program. It appropriates $500,000,000 to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for fiscal year 2021, to remain available until expended, for grants to States and Indian Tribes to assist low-income households that pay a high proportion of household income for drinking water and wastewater services. The money goes to owners or operators of public water systems or treatment works to reduce arrearages of, and rates charged to, those households. The same printed page carries part of § 9058c, emergency rental assistance of $21,550,000,000, with reservations of $305,000,000 for the territories, $30,000,000 for the Secretary's administration costs, $3,000,000 for the Inspector General and $2,500,000,000 for high-need grantees.
