EPA has released a report highlighting the important role of the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs) in implementing the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Together, the SRFs executed more than 3,200 assistance agreements worth more than $5.6 billion for clean water and drinking water projects. The report, titled “Implementation of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009---Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Programs,” includes case studies that emphasize the role of ARRA in funding wastewater and drinking water infrastructure projects that will contribute to long-term economic productivity, environmental sustainability, and public health protection, many of which would not have otherwise been funded.
