Infrastructure updates announced

On April 4, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $62,283,000 to Wyoming essential drinking water infrastructure upgrades through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).

Thanks to a $6 billion boost from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, EPA is increasing the investments available to rebuild the nation’s water infrastructure.

Progress made in Wyoming under the first wave of DWSRF actions includes amending state regulations to expand the use of funds set aside through the State Revolving Fund. This amendment will allow the funding of technical and financial assistance activities for underserved communities, as well as provide funding assistance to communities for source water protection.

The DWSRF allotments to states are based on the results of EPA’s Seventh Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment (DWINSA). The survey, which is required by the
