Modifies the proposed changes to GS 159G-23 regarding the Division of Water Infrastructure's required consideration of an application's effect on impaired waters during its evaluation of applications for loans and grants from the Wastewater Reserve or the Drinking Water Reserve. Concerning the proposed provision requiring greater priority to be given to projects which improve impaired waters of the state that serve a public water supply for a large public water system, modifies the definition of large public water system to now mean one serving more than 175,000 service connections rather than 500,000 customers.
