EPA ANNOUNCES $121M IN HISTORIC FEDERAL FUNDING TO COLORADO FOR CLEAN WATERSHEDS
AND DRINKING WATER

DENVER — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded $121 million in
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to Colorado for water infrastructure
improvements.
President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) allocates more than $50
billion to EPA toward repairing the nation’s essential water infrastructure,
which helps communities access clean, safe and reliable drinking water, increase
resilience, collect and treat wastewater to protect public health, clean up
pollution and safeguard vital waterways. The grant marks the first significant
distribution of water infrastructure funds thanks to the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law. State allocations were previously announced.
“All communities need access to clean, reliable, safe water,” said EPA
Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Thanks to President Biden’s leadership and the
resources from the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are repairing
aging water infrastructure, replacing lead service lines, cleaning up
contaminants, and making our communities more resilient in the face of floods
and climate impacts.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“President Biden has been clear — we cannot leave any community behind as we
rebuild America’s infrastructure with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” said
White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu. “Because of his
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, nearly half of the additional SRF funding will
now be grants or forgivable loans, making accessing these critical water
resources easier for small, rural and disadvantaged communities.”
“This Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding will support unprecedented
investments in wastewater treatment and drinking water infrastructure across
Montana’s communities,” said EPA Regional Administrator KC Becker. “These
projects will create jobs and modernize and extend the water systems that keep
our rivers clean and our water safe to drink in every corner of the state.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is providing critical investments to increase
Coloradans’ access to clean drinking water and upgrade water infrastructure in
communities that have historically been overlooked,” said U.S. Sen. Michael
Bennet. “Everyone deserves access to clean, safe drinking water and I am glad to
see this additional funding coming to the state.”
“The benefits from our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law keep flowing! Everyone
deserves clean water and this funding will make critical upgrades to Colorado’s
water systems,” said U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper.
“This is a big win for our community,” said Congresswoman Diana DeGette. “These
grants will help fund significant improvement to help ensure everyone in our
community has access to the safe, clean drinking water they need.”
“During a time of historic drought in Colorado and across the west, the money
from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is crucial in improving our water
infrastructure,” said Congressman Ed Perlmutter. “This investment will provide
significant benefits to communities across our state and improve access to one
of our most critical natural resources.”
“Every American should have access to clean, potable water,” said Congressman
Jason Crow. “This critical investment will both modernize our water
infrastructure and protect vital waterways in Colorado. I’m proud to have helped
deliver this funding with my vote for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”
“CDPHE is leveraging our strong community partnerships to ensure that this
funding will protect Colorado’s precious waterways and provide access to clean
water for decades to come,” said Nicole Rowan, Director of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment Water Quality Control Division.
EPA’s SRFs are part of President Biden’s Justice40 initiative, which aims to
deliver at least 40% of the benefits from certain federal programs flow to
underserved communities. Furthermore, nearly half the funding available through
the SRFs thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law must be grants or principal
forgiveness loans that remove barriers to investing in essential water
infrastructure in underserved communities across rural America and in urban
centers.
Funding announced today represents FY22 awards for states that have submitted
and obtained EPA’s approval of their plans for use of the funding.
Capitalization grants will continue to be awarded, on a rolling state-by-state
basis, as more states receive approval throughout FY22; states will also receive
awards over the course of the next four years. As grants are awarded, the state
SRF programs can begin to distribute the funds as grants and loans to
communities across their state.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law presents the largest ever funding opportunity
for investing in water infrastructure. Find out more about Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law programs and other programs that help communities manage
