Massachusetts Clean Water Trust grants $51 million for 14 municipal water projects
(UI) — State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (Trust) Board of Trustees has announced that $51 million in grants were awarded for 14 projects in 12 communities across Massachusetts.
The grant funds will help cities, towns, counties, and water utilities pay for the $237 million in total project cost for improvements to drinking water and wastewater infrastructure.
The funding for these grants is available from two sources. The first is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which provided additional federal funding to the Trust with a requirement that part of the funding be provided as grants. The second source is the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that was provided by the Massachusetts State Legislature to be directed to water projects throughout the Commonwealth.
“These grants will support vital water projects throughout our state,” said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. “By utilizing federal funding, we can reduce costs for our local communities and create positive impacts statewide, particularly in communities that need the improvements most.”
