This $28,650,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) program will enable the Puerto Rico Department of Health (PRDOH) to provide low-interest financing to public water systems for planning, designing, and constructing eligible drinking water infrastructure projects. The primary focus of this award is to support the identification, planning, design, and replacement of lead service lines. Key activities include developing a comprehensive service line inventory, fully removing lead and galvanized service lines, and replacing them with compliant pipes. The funding will also support the PRDOH's administration of the DWSRF program, including maintaining accounting systems, financial records, and providing required reporting. The expected outcomes of this award include increased technical, managerial, and financial capacity of public water systems, as well as enhanced public health protection for citizens throughout Puerto Rico.
