The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced $118,817,000 for the state of Florida to upgrade water infrastructure and keep communities safe. The funding is part of a five-year, $50 billion investment in water infrastructure across the United States through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – the largest investment in water infrastructure in American history.
To ensure investments reach communities that need them the most, a majority of the funding announced must be provided to disadvantaged communities in the form of grants or loans that do not have to be repaid.
Potential projects include upgrading water infrastructure and ones that address local challenges—from lead in drinking water, to PFAS, to water main breaks, to sewer overflows and climate resilience.
The funds will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF), a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership.
For more information, including the state-by-state allocation of 2025 funding (pdf) and a breakdown of EPA SRF funding available, please visit the Clean Water State Revolving Fund website and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund website. Additionally, the SRF Public Portal allows users to access data from both the Drinking Water and Clean Water SRF programs through interactive reports, dashboards, and maps.
