正文(英文) | Contact Information: BARTOW, Fla. (Oct. 23, 2019) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting a total of 38 projects in 18 states to apply for Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loans. Together, the selected borrowers will apply for WIFIA loans totaling approximately $6 billion to help finance over $12 billion in water infrastructure investments and create almost 200,000 jobs. “Through WIFIA, EPA is playing an integral role in President Trump’s efforts to improve and upgrade our nation’s water infrastructure and ensure all Americans have access to clean and safe water,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This announcement highlights billions of dollars in needed water infrastructure investments to upgrade aging infrastructure, reduce exposure to lead and emerging contaminants and improve the lives of millions of Americans across the country – all while creating almost 200,000 jobs.” “By improving water infrastructure, we are improving the quality of life and public health in our communities,” said Region 4 Administrator Mary S. Walker. “The WIFIA program funds the infrastructure upgrades necessary to strengthen our wastewater treatment and drinking water distribution systems.” EPA’s WIFIA loans will allow communities across the country to implement projects to address national water priorities – including providing for clean and safe drinking water by reducing exposure to lead and emerging contaminants, addressing aging water infrastructure and developing water recycling and reuse projects. EPA received 51 letters of interest from both public and private entities in response to the 2019 WIFIA Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). After a robust, statutorily required review process, the WIFIA Selection Committee chose the Polk Regional Water Cooperative - Alterative Water Supplies Program. The Polk Regional Water Cooperative has been invited to apply for a $235 million WIFIA loan to go towards the Alterative Water Supplies Program. The purpose of the program is to provide alternative high quality source water to meet future drinking water needs, increase water supply reliability, facilitate water resource improvements in thirteen lakes, sustain the availability of water to existing private residential potable wells, and help recover aquifer levels.
