Billions are allocated for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
Utilities and municipalities can access IIJA funding for water infrastructure projects in a number of ways, including the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and FEMA Hazard Mitigation programs.
The IIJA funding also includes a significantly expanded Buy American clause, American Iron and Steel (AIS) provision and newly added Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions, among others.
