WASHINGTON — States, Native American tribes and U.S. territories will receive $7.4 billion in 2022 to improve water quality and access, the first installment from thethat President Joe Biden signed into law last month, the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday. Of the $7.4 billion headed to states, tribes and territories, $2.9 billion will help pay for the replacement of lead pipes and service lines, and $866 million is meant for addressing per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances contaminants in water.
Still, experts say the $15 billion included in the final version provides a historic chance to address the problem.
