Summary

Alternative Water Sources Act of 1999 - Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to make grants to develop alternative water source projects to State, interstate, and intrastate water resource development agencies, local government agencies, private utilities, and nonprofit entities that have authority under State law to provide water or develop water resources for municipal, industrial, or agricultural uses in areas experiencing critical water supply needs. Permits grants to be used only to carry out projects designed to meet critical water supply needs.

Makes projects funded under this Act ineligible for funds under any other Federal program. Limits the Federal cost share of projects funded under this Act to 50 percent.
