What this bill would do

The Advancing Water Reuse Act aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It proposes to establish a new investment credit for specific water reuse projects. This credit would equal 30 percent of the qualified investment made by a taxpayer during a taxable year. Qualifying projects include installing or modifying onsite water recycling systems in various facilities or replacing freshwater use with recycled water. The act also covers the building or expansion of municipal water recycling systems.
