BISMARCK — U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, announced the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $62,283,000 to North Dakota’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program for Fiscal Year 2023.
“Access to clean drinking water is essential for every community,” said Senator Cramer. “The bipartisan infrastructure law provides substantial funding increases to ensure our systems are up-to-date, reliable, and support public health initiatives underway across North Dakota.”
These resources were allocated in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which authorized $200 million for North Dakota’s State Revolving Fund programs. The DWSRF supports a number of water quality initiatives, including projects to address emerging contaminants and upgrade treatment facilities.
