EPA Region 3 Awards Nearly $387M for Clean Water and Drinking Water
Infrastructure Upgrades in Pennsylvania
Made possible by President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda, new funding
will help ensure communities have access to clean waterways and safe drinking
water
PHILADELPHIA (November 29, 2023)?– The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has awarded Pennsylvania $386,932,000 to support clean water
efforts and to better deliver safe drinking water across the state. Most of
this funding, $340,612,000, came from President Biden’s Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL) which is the largest federal investment in water
infrastructure in our nation’s history. This BIL funding will supplement the
$46,320,000 in FY 2023 funding appropriated to Pennsylvania’s Clean Water
and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs).? 
“These awards show that EPA is not just a regulator – but is a funder and
partner,” said EPA’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law ensures communities most in need and
those grappling with emerging contaminants such as PFAS have access to funding
that will deliver cleaner and safer water for generations to come.” 
EPA awards grants to states annually to capitalize the State Revolving Funds
(SRFs) which provide low or no interest loans for water infrastructure
projects. Pennsylvania will use this money to help communities across the
state fund necessary water projects that some borrowers may not have been able
to afford otherwise.  
“Pennsylvania’s water will always be a top priority for the PA Department
of Environmental Protection,” said DEP Interim Acting Secretary Jessica
Shirley.  “This funding will support infrastructure projects that enhance
clean water efforts across the state, further providing recreation
opportunities and protecting drinking water.” 
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers more than $50 billion to EPA to
improve our nation’s drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater
infrastructure – the single largest investment in water that the federal
government has ever made. Learn more about the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law.
