The Source Water Collaborative is hosting its 2nd webinar as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Webinar Series titled Demystifying How to Access BIL Funds for Source Water Protection and Natural Infrastructure.

This webinar will showcase the wide array of technical assistance (TA) available to help eligible partners develop project plans and application materials to access funding for source water protection, including through the Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Funds. Attendees will learn how to request TA for support in accessing this unprecedented opportunity to invest in and expand source water protection programs.

  • EPA’s free Water Technical Assistance programs (new and longstanding)
  • BIL funding and Environmental Finance Centers
  • Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) eligible projects for source water protection
  • Case studies from the New England Environmental Finance Center
