The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 awarded the Hawaii Department of Health a formula grant totaling $693,750 in obligated federal funds under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. The award provides $505,000 in partial federal funding to support stormwater infrastructure development across Hawaii municipalities. The Hawaii Department of Health serves as the pass-through entity, issuing subawards to local municipalities for planning, design, and construction of water quality improvement and stormwater infrastructure projects.

Under this award, deliverables include engineering plans, design documents, and constructed stormwater infrastructure systems designed to reduce sewer overflows and enhance water quality protection. Subawardee municipalities, including rural and disadvantaged communities, utilize the funding to execute stormwater infrastructure projects that protect public health and improve water quality outcomes. The grant program's formula-based allocation mechanism enables the state to distribute federal resources directly to municipal entities responsible for implementing infrastructure improvements addressing stormwater management needs throughout Hawaii.
