The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $58,021,000 Formula Grant to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) program. This grant provides capitalization funding to enable NCDEQ to administer its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and deliver low-interest financing for drinking water infrastructure improvements across the state. The bulk of the grant funding will support loans and other assistance to public water systems for eligible projects, including upgrading water treatment, replacing aging pipes, improving water sources, and constructing finished water storage. NCDEQ may also use a portion of the funds for technical assistance to small systems, program administration, and other allowable uses under the DWSRF program. This funding is authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and will provide critical investments to enhance the technical, financial, and managerial capacity of public water systems in North Carolina, leading to a cleaner and safer drinking water supply.
