Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This House resolution expresses support for designating April 6–12, 2025, as "National Water Week." It lists challenges facing U.S. water systems, including lack of plumbing for some households, aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants, drought, and workforce and supply chain issues. The text emphasizes the value of federal investment, research and development, source control, resiliency, and assistance to disadvantaged, rural, and Tribal communities.
Extent of federal spending and new aid versus local solutions
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it explicitly designates a specific week as 'National Water Week' and provides detailed explanatory 'Whereas' findings without creating legal obligations or authorizations.
