EPA has awarded more than $3.6 billion in grants across the U.S. and its territories to upgrade water infrastructure that is needed to manage wastewater, protect local freshwater resources, and deliver drinking water, the EPA said.

This funding is part of a five-year, $50 billion investment in water infrastructure through the Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) designed to ensure investments reach communities that need the funds the most, according to the EPA. Furthermore, IIJA mandates that a majority of the funding must be provided to disadvantaged communities in the form of grants or loans that do not have to be repaid, EPA said.

These funds will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF), a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership, and will fund state-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing water infrastructure, EPA said.

“When our water infrastructure fails, it threatens people’s health, peace of mind, and the environment,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a written statement. With the IIJA’s investment in water, EPA is working with states and local partners to upgrade infrastructure and address local challenges that range from lead in drinking water, to PFAS, to water main breaks, to sewer overflows and climate resilience, Regan said.
