The FY2027 President's Budget requests $5.0M for Water Well System Grants, within Agriculture (USDA)'s Rural Water and Waste Disposal Program account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $5.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $5.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $5.0M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Agriculture (USDA) discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Agriculture (USDA)'s discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Household Water Well System Grants -- Authorized by section 306E of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972, as amended, (7 U.S.C. 1926(e)) to help qualified nonprofits and tribes create a revolving loan fund to increase access to clean, reliable water for households in eligible rural areas who own and occupy a home. The 2018 Farm Bill changed program eligibility to include individually owned household decentralized wastewater systems and changed income eligibility from 100 percent median non-metropolitan household income of the State to 60 percent.
