Team Kentucky is investing in water or sewer-related projects statewide that will improve the quality of life for Kentuckians while boosting the Commonwealth's infrastructure. Administered by the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, $250 million has been appropriated for water and wastewater grants for the following uses:

• $150 mi­­llion
  •  Allocated to projects within a county based on county population
• $50 million
  • Available for customers in rural areas without clean drinking water services
  • Available for utilities under federal consent decree to address stormwater and sanitary sewer system concerns (Lexington, Louisville, Northern KY Sanitation District No. 1, Winchester)
• $49.9 million
  • $24.9 million to supplement a project grant where the project cost is greater than the county's allocation
  • $25 million for bids higher than estimated project cost

There are 713 public drinking water and wastewater utilities in Kentucky. Once projects are selected this fall, all funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024.

It is estimated that delivering clean drinking water to Kentuckians will create at least 3,800 jobs.
