Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), more than $50 billion is being invested in national water and wastewater infrastructure programs.
The IIJA will provide funds to upgrade water treatment facilities, replace pipes and other critical infrastructure, and ensure that America’s water systems are sustainable for future generations. The improvements will provide an economic boost with jobs and ensure that up-to-date facilities and infrastructure provide clean, safe water in Colorado.
The division updated two loan programs, the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) and the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (WPCRF), in accordance with the IIJA's provisions. Updates are available on the State Revolving Fund loan page and are posted below:
Additional information relevant to the IIJA is posted here:

- Funding Summary (Council of Infrastructure Financing Authorities).
- Build America, Buy America - Overview.
- Determining Loan Principal Forgiveness (State Revolving Fund).
We are planning Regional State Revolving Fund workshops to address components of the IIJA. Starting in 2023, these workshops will rotate locations throughout the state. Additional updates and information will be posted as details become available.
