Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants Program | US EPA Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants Program Learn about Green Infrastructure and Groundwater Protection On April 29, 2026, EPA announced the availability of approximately $81 million in grants through the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant (OSG) Program.
Funds can be used for the planning, designing, and construction of combined sewer overflows (CSOs), sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), and stormwater management projects. OSG Allocation Memorandum FY 2025 and FY 2026 (pdf) On November 18, 2022, EPA issued a memorandum describing amendments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to the OSG program.
These amendments establish a stronger focus on providing assistance to rural and financially distressed communities for sewer overflow and stormwater needs. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Amendments Memorandum, 2022 (pdf) On March 29, 2021, the OSG program assistance listing was posted to SAM. gov and included information on the application requirements for the program.
On February 24, 2021, EPA published a Federal Register Notice establishing the allocation formula for the upcoming OSG program. This formula describes how EPA will distribute program funds for the states, District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories to provide grants to manage combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows, and stormwater flows.
In August 2020, EPA proposed an allocation formula for this program and received comments from the public which were considered in finalizing the formula. Urban stormwater is a significant source of water pollution and can be a public health concern. Stormwater can collect various pollutants including trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment and convey them to nearby waterways.
When mixed with domestic and industrial wastewater in combined sewers, stormwater can also contribute to combined sewer overflows during heavy storm events. Managing runoff remains a complex environmental challenge for local communities across the country. Many communities often face financial challenges trying to correct these issues given the costs to construct, operate, and maintain the infrastructure.
This new grant program will provide funding for critical stormwater infrastructure projects in communities including combined sewer overflows (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 amended section 221 of the Clean Water Act, which reauthorized the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants program .
These amendments expanded project eligibilities to include stormwater management projects and authorized appropriations for the program. Grants will be awarded to states, which will then provide sub-awards to eligible entities for projects that address infrastructure needs for CSOs, SSOs, and stormwater management.
In 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act amended the program to add a focus on funding projects in rural and finically distressed communities while also eliminating project cost share requirements for these communities.
States are required to prioritize funding projects for communities that are financially distressed, have a long-term municipal CSO or SSO control plan, or for projects that have requested a grant on their Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan.
Projects under this program will have many of the same program requirements as the CWSRF and, to the extent that eligible projects are available, at least 20 percent of a state’s allocation must be used for green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency improvements, and other environmentally innovative activities.
In addition, a state should use at least 25 percent of a grant for available projects located in rural communities (population of 10,000 or fewer) and/or in financially distressed communities. States may apply up to four percent of their allotment towards their administrative expenses. In total, the program has been appropriated over $282 million.
EPA developed the allotment formula for the OSG program to best address CSOs, SSOs, and stormwater needs for each state, as determined by the data from the latest Clean Watersheds Needs Survey, along with supplemental data on population, urban population, and precipitation.

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 articleEPA announced $3.5 million in competitive Clean Water Act Section 319 funding for Tribes on September 10, 2026, with a $175,000 per-applicant cap and roughly 20 awards. Applications close November 9, 2026. But eligibility was frozen as of October 10, 2025, and every application must contain an on-the-ground BMP project traceable to an approved management program. Here is how the gates actually work.

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.
