EPA Assisting Selma with Financial Planning for Water Infrastructure The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today it is providing a total of $50,000 in financial and technical guidance to help Selma, AL invest in drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. EPA’s new Water Community Assistance for Resiliency and Excellence (WaterCARE) program will assist the community in developing robust and resilient finance strategies for water infrastructure that meets long-term needs. Nationally, EPA will provide $500,000 for financial and technical assistance for 10 communities. Through WaterCARE, EPA can help communities to conduct financial evaluations including alternatives analyses, rate and revenue studies, water efficiency studies, and resiliency assessments. Services though the program may also include developing asset management programs, identifying financing options and partnership opportunities, and providing public engagement outreach and decision-maker training. “Communities depend on adequate drinking water and wastewater services to survive and thrive, and EPA is committed to providing financial guidance to help them invest in the necessary water infrastructure,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The need for resilient and sustainable infrastructure becomes more important as water resources are strained by the impacts of climate change, such as flooding, drought, storms, and sea level rise.” WaterCARE communities have a population less than 100,000, a need to address public health challenges, median household income considerations, and readiness to proceed with a capital improvement project. Project successes will be shared with other communities that have similar water infrastructure financing needs. WaterCARE will meet one-on-one with Selma to collaborate on activities needed to develop a financial strategy to meet their local needs. Initial observations indicate that the WaterCARE program could assist Selma in developing an alternatives analysis to identify the appropriate technology needed for their wastewater treatment plant, determine asset management practices that could be undertaken to identify short and long-term capital planning strategies to replace aging infrastructure, and explore possibilities for regional partnerships to assist surrounding communities with wastewater needs.
