EPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.
Read articleThe FY2026 Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development Grant (EPA-OW-OWM-26-03) closes October 5, 2026 with $10.8 million, up to 15 cooperative agreements, and a Project Area 1 ceiling of $7.8 million. One maximum award would consume 72 percent of the pool. Here is how the four project areas actually partition the money, why the grants.gov award floor field is wrong, and why September 14 is the date that matters more than October 5.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
