Wisconsin will distribute a record $414.4 million to 84 local jurisdictions through the Clean Water Fund to help cities build and improve their water infrastructure. As Matthew Thibault explains in Smart Cities Dive, the funding comes from the Supplemental Wastewater Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“Typical projects include sewer replacement or rehabilitation, and wastewater treatment facility upgrades.” Awarded projects also include reducing phosphorus discharge, fixing or replacing aging equipment, and stormwater management.
