This $758,000 formula grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 will fund drinking water infrastructure projects and technical assistance activities in Washington State through July 2025. The award is being administered through the Washington State Department of Health under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442).
Approximately $692,000 will continue supporting a water system consolidation project between the Duck Lake and Johnson Creek water systems. Upon completion, Johnson Creek residents will receive safe drinking water from Duck Lake instead of relying on a compromised well. The remaining $65,000 will fund a water system consolidation management pilot project in Ferry County, including an asset management program, rate study, operator training, and legal services. This technical assistance will help Ferry County properly own and manage struggling water systems in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act. No subawards are included in this agreement.
