Local governments can now apply for 425 million dollars in state grants made available for critical water infrastructure projects that protect public health and the environment.
The state Environmental Facilities Corporation administers the Water Infrastructure Improvement and Intermunicipal Grant programs while working closely with the DEC and Dept. of Health.
Grants can be used for critical wastewater and drinking water projects, and for projects that address emerging contaminants above the State determined Maximum Contaminant Level as well as for joint wastewater or drinking water projects undertaken by two or more communities to consolidate services.
Applications are due to the state by July 28th. More info can be found on the EFC’s website.
