The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently announced new funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to upgrade water infrastructure. In all, USEPA will distribute $3.6 billion through Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRF). Combined with $2.6 billion announced earlier this month, the $6.2 billion total investment for Fiscal Year 2025 will help communities across the country upgrade water infrastructure that is essential to safely managing wastewater, protecting local freshwater resources, and delivering safe drinking water to homes, schools and businesses.
The Clean Water SRF and Drinking Water SRF programs are long-standing Federal-State water investment partnerships. The following multibillion-dollar investments fund State-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing infrastructure.
- Colorado: $35,006,000
- Minnesota $45,736,000
- Montana: $20,910,000
- North Dakota: $20,910,000
- South Dakota: $20,910,000
- Utah: $21,833,000
- Wisconsin: $67,272,000
- Wyoming: $20,910,000
The funding is part of a five-year, $50 billion investment in water infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest investment in water infrastructure in American history. To ensure investments reach communities that need them the most, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law mandates that most of the funding announced today must be provided to disadvantaged communities in the form of grants or loans that do not have to be repaid.

In addition, the SRF Public Portal allows users to access data from both the Drinking Water and Clean Water SRF programs through interactive reports, dashboards, and maps.
