“The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is already bringing significantly more dollars to North Dakota. Today’s funding will help our state’s water systems to ensure North Dakota’s small, rural, and tribal communities have access to safe drinking water and wastewater infrastructure,” Senator Kevin Cramer said in a statement following the announcement.

Last month, Senator Cramer and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Assistant Administrator Radhika Fox toured a rural water supply plant in Bismarck and met with municipal and rural water system providers.

During the discussion on drinking water and wastewater programs under EPA, the 2022 SRF allotment for North Dakota was released, estimated at approximately $44 million more than the state received last year.
