$156 million will support plans to improve drinking water systems.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced a $156 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to the city of Pflugerville, Texas, to improve its drinking water infrastructure. The loan will fund the expansion of the city’s water treatment plant, improvements to the distribution system, and the construction of a new Colorado River Raw Water Line.
“Upgrading water infrastructure is one of the best ways to support vibrant communities. Clean, safe, and reliable water nurtures healthy residents and protects the environment while construction work on these upgrades creates good-paying jobs,” said EPA’s Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for Water Bruno Pigott.
In addition to the loan, the EPA and Pflugerville introduced a $462 million master agreement to support future water and wastewater projects.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For EPA Administrator Michael Regan as he oversees the agency and efforts to upgrade drinking water systems.
- For Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator Pigott to be discerning as he fulfills his role in the EPA’s Water Office.
