The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released $775.8 million for Clean Water State Revolving Funds to help finance upgrades for wastewater treatment infrastructure around the country.
The funds for the SRFs come from the fiscal year 2023 omnibus spending measure enacted on Dec. 29.
Kristina Surfus, National Association of Clean Water Agencies managing director-government affairs, told ENR via email, "We are glad to see this EPA announcement, as it allows the states to know exactly what they'll receive for FY23 and is an important step toward dollars reaching communities soon."
Surfus adds, "While the increase is highly welcomed and will help support critical clean water projects, it is nowhere near meeting the full need, particularly when taking inflation and increasing project costs into account."
