The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday the award of $174 million to
California for water infrastructure projects. EPA gave $79 million to the California Department of
Public Health for its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and $95 million to the California State
Water Resources Control Board for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund. The money will be used
for water pollution control and infrastructure upgrades for drinking water and

"In the last 26 years, EPA has provided more than $4 billion in funding for California water projects
alone" said Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator of EPA's Pacific Southwest Region. "Without
this investment at the federal level, many communities would not be able to satisfy Californians'
basic needs for clean pollution control systems and safe drinking water."
The San Joaquin Valley city of Lathrop benefited from a previous $11 million loan from the Revolving
Fund to build an arsenic treatment facility, improve wells, and install new water mains for over
16,000 residents.
