Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) awarded five communities grant funding totaling $30,500,000 to address PFAS and additional emerging contaminants in drinking water.  The City of Summerville will receive a grant of $3.5 million.  The $3,500,000 EC-SDC grant will fund a pilot study to treat for PFAS and upgrading the city’s drinking water plant. The legislation allows investment in the water sector that includes $50 billion to the EPA to strengthen the nation’s drinking water and wastewater systems.
