Federal Grant Award Summary

The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) received a Formula Grant award of $16.64 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA 66.458). Funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this capitalization grant was awarded on July 1, 2025, with a performance period extending through June 30, 2030. The award finances WIFA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program, which provides low-interest financing to numerous sub-recipients for water quality improvement and protection projects throughout Arizona.

Under this award, WIFA delivers financing for the planning, design, and construction of eligible water infrastructure projects aimed at protecting water quality and public health. The anticipated deliverables include project financing and engineering services to support wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater management systems, and emerging contaminant mitigation initiatives. The program's self-sustaining mechanism allows sub-recipient repayments to fund future water quality projects, with benefits directed to citizens and water systems across the state. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement, with WIFA serving as the sole recipient and administrator of funds.
