1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Disadvantaged Community Drinking Water Assistance Act . 2. Findings Congress finds that— (1) many areas in the State of California, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley region, are disproportionately impacted by drought because the areas are heavily dependent or completely reliant on groundwater supplies to meet domestic drinking water needs; and (2) those communities throughout the State of California have been impacted by the presence of naturally occurring and human-caused constituents including arsenic, 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP), hexavalent chromium, Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), uranium, and nitrates in local groundwater supplies. 3. Grant program (a) Establishment The Secretary of the Interior shall establish and carry out a grant program to be known as the Disadvantaged Community Drinking Water Assistance Program to provide financial assistance to disadvantaged communities that have experienced a significant decline in quantity or quality of drinking water, and to obtain or maintain adequate quantities of water that meet the standards set by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.). Grants under this section may be provided to communities— (1) that are unable to meet the primary drinking water quality standards under that Act; or (2) the local private or public water supply of which has been lost or severely diminished due to drought conditions, groundwater overdraft conditions, or climate change conditions.
