Climate Resiliency, Security, and Source Water Protection Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Sep 22, 2016
Climate Resiliency, Security, and Source Water Protection Act
This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act by requiring each community water system to submit to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) source water and distribution system vulnerability assessments that identify threats from:
- industrial activity, pipelines and storage tanks, contaminated sites, agricultural activity, and oil and gas exploration;
- climate change, extreme weather, drought, and temperature changes; and
- intentional acts, including intentional contamination, sabotage, and theft of any chemical of interest.
Each community water system must also submit to the EPA protection plans that mitigate the threats to source water and distribution systems.
The EPA must establish a grant program for increasing the resiliency or adaptability of the community water systems to threats.
