The term eligible system means a public water system that has been subject to an emergency administrative order pursuant to section 1431 of the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300i ) during calendar year 2020.

There is appropriated to the Administrator, out of any funds of the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $150,000,000 to provide additional capitalization grants to eligible States pursuant to section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 42 U.S.C. 300j–12 ) for the purposes described in subsection (b)(2), to remain available until expended.
