This $61,322,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) program provides capitalization funding to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The grant will allow TWDB to capitalize its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program and fund eligible set-aside activities related to PFAS and other emerging contaminants in public water systems across Texas. This includes providing technical assistance to small water systems, program administration, and state program management. Through the DWSRF program, TWDB will issue low-interest loans to municipalities and other eligible entities for planning, designing, and constructing drinking water infrastructure improvements to address these emerging water quality issues and protect public health statewide.
