Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program Intended Use Plan for FY2025

Dear Waterworks Owners and Other Interested Parties:

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, Congress authorizes capitalization grants to the states through the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program (DWSRF). As part of the annual DWSRF grant application process, Virginia seeks meaningful public involvement through input, review and comments. The Virginia Department of Health's Office of Drinking Water (ODW) prepared a draft Intended Use Plan (IUP) that explains the goals of the program, funding priorities, how ODW intends to use the grant funds and other important information submitted from the funding requests and set-aside suggestions.

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) received several funding requests and set-aside suggestions following the January 2024 DWSRF funding solicitation announcement. The draft IUP and draft project lists are open for review and comment by the public for a period of 30 days and it is available on the ODW website at https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/drinking-water/drinking-water-state-revolving-fund-program/.

A Public Meeting will not be held. Written comments and recommendations regarding the IUP will be accepted until February 5, 2026. VDH considers all public input and comments and will revise the IUP and project priority list as necessary. Please direct requests for information and written comments to:
