The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $34,991,000 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Formula Grant to the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority to support lead service line replacement projects and associated activities. The grant funds will be used to provide low-interest rate financing to eligible public water systems for the planning, design, and construction of eligible drinking water improvement projects. The anticipated deliverables include financing, planning, design, and construction of eligible lead service line projects and associated activities. These efforts are intended to increase the lead service line-related technical, managerial, and financial capacity of public water systems and protect public health throughout the state of Kentucky.
The DWSRF program (CFDA 66.468) is administered by the EPA to provide critical financial assistance to states, territories, and tribal nations for improving drinking water infrastructure and public health protection. The program offers low-interest loans and financing to eligible public water systems for a wide range of infrastructure initiatives, including water treatment facility upgrades, lead service line replacements, and addressing emerging contaminants.
