Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a $47.7M Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District in Missouri to help finance its Deer Creek Sanitary Tunnel and Sanitary Relief project.
“This WIFIA loan will help finance construction of much-needed wastewater infrastructure that will improve public health protections and water quality for residents of the St. Louis community,” said EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Through WIFIA, EPA is delivering on President Trump’s commitment to improve our nation’s infrastructure, create well-paying jobs, and ensure all Americans have access to clean drinking water.”
