This $8,913,600 Formula Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) will capitalize the Oregon Health Authority's (OHA) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. The OHA will use the funds to provide low-interest financing for planning, design, and construction of eligible drinking water infrastructure projects that protect public health. Activities include improving drinking water treatment, distribution systems, water supply sources, and finished water storage to ensure safe and adequate potable water supplies statewide.
Additionally, the grant provides funding for OHA subrecipients such as the City of Boardman and Medford Water Commission to conduct source water assessments, develop spill response plans, and acquire equipment for hazardous materials spill response training. These activities further the program's objectives of improving drinking water quality and safeguarding public health.
