EPA announces $113 million for Illinois water infrastructure
Using City Water, Light and Power’s lead service pipe replacement project as a backdrop, officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday announced more than $113 million to modernize water infrastructure in Illinois.
“With these funds, Illinois will provide low-interest financing to communities across the state for costs associated with planning, design, and construction of eligible wastewater and drinking water infrastructure for projects and activities to protect human health,” said EPA Region 5 Adminstrator Kurt Thiede.
Thiede added that the program, Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund, is “one of the many tools that EPA can offer our state partners so that they can upgrade their water infrastructure and reduce lead exposure.”
