The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 awarded the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality a $55.25 million Formula Grant under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program. The funding will capitalize North Carolina's DWSRF to provide low-interest financing to public water systems for drinking water infrastructure projects that protect public health through June 2026. Specifically, most funds will be used as loans and other assistance to water systems for eligible projects like improving treatment facilities, replacing water distribution pipes and storage tanks. Some funding may support set-asides for technical assistance to small systems, as well as program administration and management. Subawards are expected to administer loans, provide technical support and manage the program. The grant aims to increase technical, financial and management capacity of water providers statewide, ensuring a safer drinking water supply through multiple infrastructure improvements funded by the revolving fund.
