Part E of the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300j et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Administrator shall conduct a study on technological improvements in location, mapping, monitoring, and communications practices to monitor and regulate pressure and detect leaks in transmission pipelines, water distribution systems, and aqueducts operated by public water systems. In conducting the study under subsection (a), the Administrator shall— in consultation with industry, develop a compilation of, and analyze, available and new technologies to improve location and mapping practices used by States and industry to monitor and regulate pressure and reduce water loss and leaks; conduct an analysis of how increased use of existing and new technologies documented in the compilation under paragraph (1), including G.P.S. digital mapping technologies, predictive analytic tools, the use of mobile devices, and other advanced technologies, could reduce loss of water from leaks; and based on the analyses conducted under paragraphs
(1)and (2), identify criteria for effective pressure management and water loss and leak control technologies to be used by transmission pipelines, water distribution systems, and aqueducts operated by public water systems. Not later than 3 years after the date of the enactment of this section, the Administrator shall submit a report to Congress on the study under this section, including recommendations on how to incorporate, nationwide, technological improvements in practices in managing pressure and identifying water loss and leaks in aging infrastructure, provided that in developing such recommendations, the Administrator takes into consideration technical, operational, and economic feasibility. .
