Massachusetts Clean Water Trust

Massachusetts Clean Water Trust is a state government entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Boston, Massachusetts, with a primary focus on managing water infrastructure financing and improvement initiatives. Established to support water quality and public health objectives, the Trust serves as a critical mechanism for channeling federal funding into critical water-related infrastructure projects across the state. The organization is uniquely positioned as a U.S. State Government entity that receives federal grants to administer revolving loan funds and support water quality improvement efforts throughout Massachusetts.

Through its federal grant awards, predominantly from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1, the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust provides comprehensive water infrastructure financing and support across multiple critical domains. The Trust administers several key federal grant programs, including the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), and Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program. These grants, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, enable the Trust to offer low-interest financing to numerous subrecipients such as municipalities, public water systems, and local government entities for planning, designing, and constructing water quality improvement projects. The specific focus areas include wastewater treatment facility upgrades, stormwater management, lead service line replacements, drinking water infrastructure improvements, and addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS. By providing these financial mechanisms, the Trust supports critical public health objectives, helps communities upgrade aging water infrastructure, and ensures safer, cleaner water resources across Massachusetts.
