The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a $8,089,200 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Formula Grant to the Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health (OPH). The DWSRF program (CFDA 66.468) provides capitalization grants to states to establish revolving loan funds that finance improvements to public water systems.
Under this grant, OPH will use the funds to capitalize its DWSRF, which will then provide low-interest financing to public water systems in Louisiana for eligible drinking water infrastructure projects. Eligible activities include upgrading water treatment facilities, replacing water distribution lines, improving water sources, and constructing finished water storage tanks. The DWSRF may also be used for technical assistance to small water systems, program administration, and other allowable set-aside activities. This grant, with a performance period of July 2024 to June 2028, aims to enhance the technical, financial, and managerial capacity of public water systems and ensure a cleaner, safer drinking water supply for the people of Louisiana.
