Utilities See Hurdles To Drinking Water SRF Use As EPA Funds Increase

摘要

As EPA prepares for an expected increase in drinking water infrastructure funds, a utility group has identified numerous barriers to the use of the monies, including current challenges like large utilities' ability to find better financing terms elsewhere and emerging challenges such as utilities' ability to convince Congress to appropriate the recently authorized funds. The findings in the report, "Opportunities and Challenges Facing Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Programs," will inform policy recommendations for the EPA headquarters DWSRF program, state DWSRF programs, and future federal investment in the DWSRF, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) says in the document. The report is available on InsideEPA.com. (Doc. ID: 217442)
