The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 awarded the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation a $25.855 million formula grant under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program. The grant will capitalize Tennessee's Clean Water State Revolving Fund through September 2026.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation will administer this funding to provide low interest financing to subrecipients for water quality improvement and protection projects. Eligible subrecipients include numerous state and local entities undertaking planning, design, and construction of wastewater treatment facilities and other projects. The department will also use the funding to administer loans, provide technical assistance to small water systems, and manage the state revolving fund program.
The expected outcomes are to establish an effective Clean Water State Revolving Fund program in Tennessee that provides long-term, sustainable financing for water infrastructure improvements and protects water quality and public health.
