This $9,719,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.458) program provides funding to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to address emerging contaminants in the state's water resources. The grant will enable TWDB to offer low-interest financing to municipalities through the State Revolving Fund programs. These funds will be used for planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects, with a primary focus on addressing emerging contaminants in water. Emerging contaminants refer to substances and microorganisms, including manufactured or naturally occurring materials, that may pose newly identified or re-emerging risks to human health, aquatic life, or the environment. The anticipated deliverables include the financing of projects such as wastewater treatment facility upgrades, stormwater management systems, and emerging contaminant remediation efforts. The grant period runs from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2028.
