                 TITLE I--DRINKING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

SEC. 101. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON APPROPRIATIONS LEVELS.

    It is the sense of Congress that Congress should provide robust 
funding of capitalization grants to States to fund those States' 
drinking water treatment revolving loan funds established under section 
1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-12) and the State 
water pollution control revolving funds established under title VI of 
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1381 et seq.).

SEC. 102. OTHER AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES.

    Section 1452(k) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-
12(k)) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (1)(D), by inserting ``and the 
        implementation of plans to protect source water identified in a 
        source water assessment under section 1453'' before the period 
        at the end; and
            (2) in paragraph (2)(E), by inserting ``and implement plans 
        to protect source water identified in a source water assessment 
        under section 1453'' after ``wellhead protection programs''.

SEC. 103. NEGOTIATION OF CONTRACTS.

    Section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-12) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(s) Negotiation of Contracts.--For communities with populations 
of more than 10,000 individuals, a contract to be carried out using 
funds directly made available by a capitalization grant under this 
section for program management, construction management, feasibility 
studies, preliminary engineering, design, engineering, surveying, 
mapping, or architectural or related services shall be negotiated in 
the same manner as--
            ``(1) a contract for architectural and engineering services 
        is negotiated under chapter 11 of title 40, United States Code; 
        or
            ``(2) an equivalent State qualifications-based requirement 
        (as determined by the Governor of the State).''.

SEC. 104. WATERSENSE PROGRAM.

    The Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j et seq.) is amended by 
adding after part F the following:

                    ``PART G--ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 201. SEWER OVERFLOW CONTROL GRANTS.

    Section 221 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 
1301) is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a), by striking the subsection 
        designation and heading and all that follows through ``subject 
        to subsection (g), the Administrator may'' in paragraph (2) and 
        inserting the following:
    ``(a) Authority.--The Administrator may--
            ``(1) make grants to States for the purpose of providing 
        grants to a municipality or municipal entity for planning,

        receives grant assistance under subsection (a) shall be carried 
        out subject to the same requirements as a project that receives 
        assistance from a State water pollution control revolving fund 
        established pursuant to title VI.
            ``(2) Determination of governor.--The requirement described 
        in paragraph (1) shall not apply to a project that receives 
        grant assistance under subsection (a) to the extent that the 
        Governor of the State in which the project is located 
        determines that a requirement described in title VI is 
        inconsistent with the purposes of this section.
    ``(f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section, to remain available until

            (4) by striking subsection (i).
Clean Safe Reliable Water Infrastructure Act This bill urges Congress to provide robust funding of capitalization grants to states for state drinking water revolving funds and state clean water revolving funds. The bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to: (1) make the implementation of source water protection plans an eligible use of assistance from a drinking water state revolving fund; and (2) apply requirements concerning the selection of architects and engineers to contracts funded by state revolving funds, if the assistance is for a community with a population of more than 10,000. The bill provides statutory authority for the Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense Program that allows water-efficient products, buildings, landscapes, facilities, processes, and services to bear a "WaterSense" label.  The bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to revise and reauthorize through FY2021 the grant program for addressing combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows, and stormwater discharges.
