Fed FUNDS for Water and Wastewater Utilities

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency State Revolving Funds

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allocates grant funding through two State Revolving Funds (SRFs):

  • Drinking Water SRF
  • Clean Water SRF

Administered by the states, the SRFs have the potential to support mitigation or post-disaster recovery and rebuilding projects.

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) provides low-interest loans to water systems in order to fund infrastructure projects. States may:

  • Reserve a portion of their grants received from EPA to pay for technical assistance, and plan for and recover from disasters
  • Provide priority funding for projects that are needed for an emergency or a potential public health threat

For more information:

EPA provides grants under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). These grants:

  • Support Clean Water Act requirements 
  • Are low-interest loans or other assistance
  • Are given to publicly owned wastewater collection and treatment systems, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control projects, and estuary management projects

For more detailed information, see CWSRF in Fed FUNDS or visit the EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund website. Utilities should contact their state CWSRF program to learn more about the program.
