The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 awarded the Kansas Department of Health & Environment a capitalization grant of $26.7 million under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program (CFDA 66.458) effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030. Funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), this award establishes a long-term financing mechanism that enables the state to provide low-interest loans and grants to numerous subrecipients for water quality improvement and protection projects. The KDHE will deploy these funds to finance planning, design, and construction activities for eligible water infrastructure initiatives, creating a self-sustaining revolving loan fund whereby loan repayments generate continued funding availability for future projects.

The anticipated deliverables include comprehensive support for wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater management systems, and other water quality management activities consistent with the Clean Water Act. The expected outcomes are to improve and protect water quality while advancing public health across Kansas. Through this capitalization grant structure, KDHE serves as the primary awardee, issuing subawards to local government entities, municipalities, and utilities throughout the state. Citizens across Kansas will benefit from enhanced water infrastructure and environmental protection resulting from the financed projects.
