The Puerto Rico Department of Health (PRDOH) has been awarded a $7,555,000 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) formula grant (CFDA 66.468) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The purpose of this grant is to capitalize the PRDOH's DWSRF program to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Under this grant, PRDOH will use the funds to finance improvements to a water treatment plant for manganese control, including chemical dosage, aeration, pH control, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and sludge handling. The grant will also support PFAS monitoring, sampling, and treatment as a pilot project. These activities are intended to increase the technical, financial, and managerial capacity of public water systems in Puerto Rico and provide a cleaner, safer potable water supply statewide.
