Nearly $200 Million Awarded for Water Projects in Florida
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recently awarded nearly $200 million in low-interest loans and grants from its Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs for 45 statewide clean water and drinking water projects. Both funding programs include grants and loans for planning, designing and constructing water systems.
“We are pleased to allocate state revolving funds for vital projects such as upgrades to wastewater, stormwater and drinking water treatment facilities, and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure,” said Trina Vielhauer, director of the Division of Water Restoration Assistance. “Approximately $100 million is still available in state revolving fund loans and grants for interested communities with eligible clean water and drinking water projects.”
Wastewater, stormwater, reclaimed water and certain energy projects are also eligible for funding through the CWSRF and DWSRF programs.
