Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority

Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority, a U.S. local government entity (municipality) based in Willingboro, New Jersey, receives federal grant funding for wastewater and drinking-water infrastructure projects as a prime recipient (25% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient flowing through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (75% of recent awards). The Authority operates exclusively in the federal grant space; it holds no federal contracts and sits on no contract vehicles.

Willingboro's grant work centers on water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. As a prime recipient, the Authority holds two cooperative agreements from EPA Region 2: a $15.4 million aggregate-value project awarded October 1, 2023 (ultimate completion June 22, 2026) to design and construct a microgrid at the pollution control plant capable of operating as an isolated system apart from the main utility grid, funded under the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act; and a project awarded October 1, 2022 (completed June 30, 2024) to construct a PFOS treatment system with emergency generator capacity at groundwater well #5A to meet New Jersey's maximum contaminant level for PFOS, funded under the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act. As a sub-recipient, Willingboro has received five sub-awards from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (prime grantee) since December 2022, addressing the Well #5A PFOS treatment system upgrade, water meter infrastructure, and screening and grit removal equipment installation at the water pollution control plant. The Authority reports no subawards to other entities under its prime grant agreements.

Willingboro's customer base is narrowly concentrated: EPA Region 2 and EPA at the national level account for 100% of recorded awards. Activity shows intermittent grant intake — one award in 2017, two each in 2022 and 2023, and three in 2025 — with the most recent sub-awards from NJDEP dated June 23, 2025. The Authority's federal engagement is mission-driven infrastructure development serving local drinking-water and wastewater compliance objectives rather than commercial service delivery. No recompete exposure surfaces in the near term beyond the microgrid project's June 2026 completion date.
