The following tables contain the reported state and national investment needs for water supply and wastewater infrastructure. They also provide information on the major available funding programs found for projects that would address these needs. This information was collected from reports and technical papers developed by the EPA and ASCE. Funding opportunities were compiled based on information available from state, federal, and local government websites and press releases as of the end of 2015. Additional information on available funding specifically available for water and wastewater agencies can also be found at the EPA's Water Infrastructure and Resiliency Finance Center located at www.epa.gov/waterfinancecenter. Table 1 provides information on investment needs highlighting major infrastracture improvements projects. This information has been broken down further for some categories in Table 2. Detailed breakdown information was not available for most categories. Table 1 is organized alphabetically by category (since this project focuses on water supply systems, information for wastewater systems is shown at the end of the table). The available funding sheet (Table 3) provides information on federal, state, and local government funding available for water and wastewater infrastructure projects as of the end of 2015. This information is representative of the types of funding that may be available for a given project and should be used only as a starting point for researching how to fund a large improvement project. Note that in most cases the grant providers strongly urge working with them prior to completing the application to ensure eligibility.
