US EPA Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program

Funding Opportunity

The purpose of this program is to assist medium- and large-size public water systems with protecting drinking water sources from natural hazards, extreme weather events, and cybersecurity threats. Awards must be used for the planning, design, construction, implementation, operation, or maintenance of a project that increases the resilience of drinking water systems. Ultimately, projects will increase the ability of Americans to access clean and safe drinking water, support states that share responsibility for ensuring safe drinking water through cooperative federalism, and strengthen the cybersecurity of water systems through the incorporation of modern technologies, which may include artificial intelligence. These activities will ensure that water facilities can be operated in a clean and efficient manner with American-made resources.
