Idaho will receive more than $20.8 million to upgrade water infrastructure in the state through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in 2021.
The funds will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership, according to a press release from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Idaho will receive a $12.2 million allotment from the law’s Clean Water General Supplemental funds, more than $1 million from the law’s Emerging Contaminant funds and more than $7.6 million under the law’s Drinking Water Emerging Contaminant fund. The investments will fund state-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing water infrastructure, according to the EPA release.
