Water: Fed FUNDS

Federal Funding for Utilities - Water/Wastewater - in National Disasters (Fed FUNDS)

Welcome to EPA's Federal Funding for Utilities - Water/Wastewater - in National Disasters (Fed FUNDS).
The purpose of Fed FUNDS is to provide tailored information to water and wastewater utilities about applicable federal disaster funding programs. The Fed FUNDS Web pages address national-level disasters, but could also apply to large-scale and even local disasters that result in service interruptions and significant damage to the critical water/wastewater infrastructure. Utilities can use the five buttons in Fed FUNDS to obtain key information and application forms on federal disaster funding.
