Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund
The Nation's water systems must make significant investments to install,
upgrade, or replace infrastructure to continue to ensure the provision
of safe drinking water to their 240 million customers. Installation of
new treatment facilities can improve the quality of drinking water and
better protect public health. Improvements are also needed to help those
water systems experiencing a threat of contamination due to aging infrastructure
systems.
The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996, established the Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) to make funds available to drinking
water systems to finance infrastructure improvements. The program also
emphasizes providing funds to small and disadvantaged communities and
to programs that encourage pollution prevention as a tool for ensuring
safe drinking water.
