Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (DWSRF) have been awarded to communities for water infrastructure improvements. To learn more about these funds and to see where they’re going, visit Michigan.gov/DWSRF. Michigan’s DWSRF program has awarded over $1.8 billion dollars to 428 drinking water projects across the state since 1998. Of that, over $79 million has been awarded as principal forgiveness (i.e., loan dollars not required to be paid back). For Fiscal Year 2024, EGLE plans to award over $760 million to Michigan communities from grant and loan programs, including the DWSRF, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and American Rescue Plan.

K100 Million Wafi-Golpu Infrastructure Development Grant Lacks Guidelines Luther Wenge, a member of the Morobe provincial government, has reported that a K100 million (Approximately $28.8 million) Wafi-Golpu Infrastructure Development Grant (IDG) given by the National Government offered no guidelines on how the funds should be distributed. Its recipients have demanded that half of the money should be allocated to the landowners of the communities affected by the ongoing local development. According to Wenge, though K100 million of the promised K150 million has been received, there are no clear guidelines on its expenditure. He also noted that a K60 million business development grant has remained unpaid since 2023 and there are plans to draw up guidelines on how these funds can be used for business-related purposes. #PNGWafiGolpu #BuloloWafiGolpu #LutherWenge #Morobeprovincialgovernment #BuloloWafiGolpuLandOwners #PNG #Leafsplash

This November Texas voters will have the opportunity to expand the state's financial strategy for addressing our long-term water challenges. These challenges include the need for developing more water supplies for a drought-prone state and fixing aging, deteriorating water systems. The opportunity to address these challenges lies with the approval of the proposed constitutional amendment to create the Texas Water Fund. In this article, I unpack the particulars of how the proposed Texas Water Fund could enhance Texas' water infrastructure financial strategy. Those particulars include types of water projects could receive financial assistance through the proposed Texas Water Fund.
