This $12,438,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) provides capitalization funding to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) to support its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program. The grant funds will enable MODNR to offer low-interest financing to eligible public water systems in Missouri for planning, designing, and constructing drinking water infrastructure projects focused on addressing emerging contaminants, particularly per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In addition to the infrastructure financing, MODNR may use a portion of the grant funds for technical assistance to small water systems, operator certification activities, and source water protection initiatives. The anticipated outcomes include improved public health protection through enhanced drinking water quality and increased technical, managerial, and financial capacity of public water systems across the state.
