The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded more than $30.8 million to Arizona for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements.
"These funds will be used for numerous local projects that will boost the economy while improving water systems," said Mike Stoker, EPA Pacific Southwest regional administrator. "EPA is committed to investing in local infrastructure to benefit the communities we serve."
EPA awarded more than $30.8 million to Arizona's clean water and drinking water State Revolving Fund programs. These federal funds are supplemented with state funding sources, which together provide low-interest loans for wastewater and drinking water infrastructure projects. As money is repaid to the revolving loan fund, Arizona funds new infrastructure projects.
The state's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), which is administered by the state's Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA), received almost $20 million to improve public water systems, including the following:
The state's Clean Water SRF, also administered by WIFA, received almost $11 million to support a variety of water infrastructure improvement projects, including the following:
EPA has awarded more than $693 million to Arizona's clean water and drinking water revolving fund programs since their inception in 1988 and 1996, respectively. These funds support Arizona's efforts to address an estimated $16 billion worth of water infrastructure needs.
