The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to invest $278 million in water infrastructure projects for American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages, EPA announced June 28.
The investments—drawn almost entirely from already appropriated funds—will support a variety of drinking water and wastewater infrastructure projects, those to identify and treat emerging contaminants such as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and to replace lead service lines.
