The Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 awarded the Maine Department of Health and Human Services a $13.32 million Formula Grant under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA #66.468) to capitalize Maine's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2028. The grant provides low-interest financing to multiple subrecipients, including the Bangor Water District, City of Calais, and Searsport Water District, for planning, designing, and constructing eligible drinking water infrastructure projects to protect public health. A portion of the funding is also reserved for the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to support the state's drinking water program services. Through this funding, Maine will establish and manage an effective comprehensive drinking water program and maintain a self-sustaining revolving fund to provide safe drinking water to citizens across the state for many years to come.
