American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Economic Recovery Funds for Water Systems
Washington State has distributed about $38.5 million in economic recovery funds for
drinking water construction projects throughout Washington State.
Additional information about the capitalization grant is provided in the Intended Use Plan (PDF, 36 kb) and EPA's
approval letter.
We reviewed 347 project applications totaling more than $415 million, about 10 times the
amount of money available.
We gave weight to projects that could start quickly. We also looked for projects that
addressed high-priority public health issues and
projects in disadvantaged communities where economic
hits have been the hardest and jobs are sorely
needed.
