The Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) was awarded a $2,806,000 Formula Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447) to support the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects by local municipalities in Indiana.

The grant funds will enable the IFA to provide subawards to municipal entities, including rural and disadvantaged communities, to execute and develop overflow and/or stormwater infrastructure projects. The anticipated deliverables include plans, designs, and constructed overflow or stormwater infrastructure, integrated stormwater management master plans, technical design documents, and sanitary sewer overflow control solutions. The expected outcomes are to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overflows through stormwater management, as well as achieving energy consumption and cost reductions. The federal grant award has a project period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025.
