New York Governor Announces $48.9M for Clean Water Systems and Local Drinking Water Infrastructure Projects Statewide

ALBANY, NY — Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announces that the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation Board of Directors has approved more than $48 million in grants, interest-free loans, and low-cost loans to support vital drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects across New York state. The FY 2022 Enacted Budget adds a $500-million appropriation to support clean water, raising the state's total investment to $4 billion and continuing to fulfill the state's $5-billion clean water commitment.

"Clean water and functioning water infrastructure are essential parts of the standard of living and qualify-of-life for all New Yorkers, and towns and villages across the state have an ongoing need for wastewater treatment plants and water tanks that needs to be filled," Cuomo said. "The newly enacted budget dedicates $500 million to support clean water initiatives, which increases our investment and brings the state closer to fulfilling its commitment to New Yorkers."
