About Drinking Water Assistance Fund

Under legislation effective November 26, 1997, The Drinking Water Assistance Fund (DWAF) Program was established in 1998 with federal capitalization grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to provide funds to public water systems for the cost of facility improvements to meet Safe Drinking Water Act standards.

Since 1998, the DWAF has been awarded nearly $620 million of federal capitalization grants which have been matched with nearly $124 million of State matching funds.

The DWAF has funded 534 projects, with $1.3 billion in loan value to 219 different Governmental Agencies.
