Limits the Fund expenditure to $50,000 (was, $10,000) per household or connection to pay for an alternative drinking water supply provided by waterline extension. Specifies that the Fund may not cover more than one-third of the project's total cost when more than ten residences are eligible for alternative water supplies. Clarifies that $100,000 may be used annually to pay for personnel and other direct costs to operate the Fund.
