The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1,742,120 Formula Grant under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447) to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) to support projects by local municipalities in Louisiana. The grant funds will be used for the planning, design, and construction of water quality improvement and protection projects, including the rehabilitation of stormwater and sewer systems, replacement of gravity mains and manholes, and renovation of lift stations to address combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). The anticipated outcomes include the reduction in the occurrence and severity of CSO and SSO events, decreased stormwater pollution impacts, improved water quality, and enhanced opportunities for stormwater capture and reuse in Louisiana communities, with a focus on supporting rural and disadvantaged municipalities.
