The $787 billion bill included $6 billion for water infrastructure projects through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).
The CWSRF and DWSRF are existing programs created to provide states with low-interest loans to communities so they can build projects needed to comply with the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The result is moving issues forward that many of us care about deeply."
