Issue
Federal grants and loans for PFAS water treatment
Federal programs including the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, Emerging Contaminants grants for small or disadvantaged communities, and WIFIA loans provide money to help water systems install PFAS treatment. Technical assistance programs like PFAS OUT and WaterTA help systems navigate options. Disputes center on funding levels, eligibility rules, and whether support reaches small and rural systems facing the biggest cost burdens.
