03-24-2004March 24, 2004ROMNEY ADMINISTRATION AWARDS $458M IN LOW-INTEREST LOANS FOR 85 LOCAL WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS
The Romney Administration today awarded $458 million in low-interest loans to 62 communities, wastewater districts and water suppliers for 85 environmental infrastructure and planning improvement projects.
“Many of the projects funded this year are concentrated in urban areas and they are consistent with our ‘Fix It First’ strategy of maintaining existing infrastructure over new development,” said Governor Mitt Romney. “This investment in these facilities is critical for the protection of our environment and our public health.”
The funds come from the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), administered by the Department of Environmental Protection, the Executive Office for Administration and Finance and the State Treasurer’s Office.
“The State Revolving Fund program will make an enormous investment in water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment plants, Combined Sewer Overflow mitigation, and rehabilitation of water distribution and wastewater collection systems,” said Commonwealth Development Secretary Doug Foy. “In the last two years, 82 percent of these funds were used on projects that support protection of green space and the upgrading of existing infrastructure.”
“Residents of the Commonwealth deserve to have clean drinking water and unspoiled wetlands and waterways and this year’s SRF funding priorities bring us closer to that goal,” said Environmental Affairs Secretary Ellen Roy Herzfelder. “Municipalities that receive these funds will be building a healthier community and a safer environment in which to live and work.”
“SRF programs offer the critical capital needed to provide responsible wastewater management and to make sure there is a safe supply of drinking water,” said Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert W. Golledge, Jr. “These programs are a vital part of our mission to protect the environment and the public health.”
The Clean Water SRF will provide $348,915,439 in financing for 62 construction and planning projects aimed at eliminating combined sewer overflows, upgrading wastewater treatment facilities, extending sewers and developing long-term wastewater management plans. An additional $110,050,187 in loans from the Drinking Water SRF will finance 23 drinking water treatment, storage and distribution projects across the Commonwealth.
Massachusetts has awarded more than $2.9 billion in Clean Water SRF loans since the program’s inception in 1991. The Drinking Water SRF, initiated in 1999, has financed more than $690 million in projects.
Annual grants from the federal government provide seed money for the Massachusetts SRF programs. Matching state funds leverage the federal contribution to make it possible for qualifying municipalities, wastewater districts and water suppliers to borrow money at two percent interest for a range of environmental infrastructure projects.
