The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 awarded the State of Ohio Office of Budget and Management $71.3 million under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA 66.468) on August 1, 2022. The funding will capitalize Ohio's Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund with a focus on reducing lead in drinking water by financing projects emphasizing identification and removal of lead service lines. The State may also use a portion of funding for technical assistance to small systems, program administration, and other allowable uses under the DWSRF program. Principal forgiveness loans will be issued to communities for eligible drinking water infrastructure projects, providing public health benefits statewide by December 31, 2025.
