WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $50.4M in annual funding to states and territories for communities most in need of access to clean and safe drinking water. The funding will support projects and activities in underserved, small and disadvantaged communities to access and invest in water infrastructure and comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
Grant funding can support a broad range of approaches to help communities, from household water quality testing to monitoring for unregulated drinking water contaminants. Funds may also support efforts to build the technical, financial, and managerial abilities of a water system’s operations and staff. Infrastructure projects that support drinking water quality improvements are also eligible.
Regional states receiving funds, and amounts, include: Alabama $739,000; Louisiana 1,303.000; and Mississippi 818,000. For more information, visit the WIIN SUDC Grant website. (EPA 06/36/23)
