EPA Announces $52 Million WIFIA Loan to Modernize Drinking Water Infrastructure in Pflugerville, Texas
Nationally, 93 WIFIA loans are financing nearly $93 billion in water infrastructure upgrades, creating 103,000 jobs
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a $52 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to the City of Pflugerville, Texas, to support its Water Treatment Plant Expansion Project. With this WIFIA loan, EPA is helping to increase how much drinking water the plant can treat and making the water safer to drink through new treatment and filtration technology.
¡°Congratulations to the City of Pflugerville on closing the first WIFIA loan in the State of Texas,¡± said EPA Assistant Administrator for Water Radhika Fox. ¡°With this loan, the EPA is providing the City of Pflugerville with low-cost financing to undertake critical upgrades to their drinking water system that serves 76,000 residents.¡±
The Water Treatment Plant Expansion project will increase the City of Pflugerville¡¯s drinking water system¡¯s capacity to meet projected demand from 17.7 million gallons per day to 30 million gallons per day. To address water quality concerns and protect public health, the city will upgrade drinking water infrastructure and utilize new pretreatment and filtration technologies to enhance the system¡¯s disinfection process and help meet EPA standards. Overall, these improvements will help the system comply with regulatory requirements, enhance overall system resiliency, and meet projected water demand through 2050.
¡°I'm monumentally excited about this project and our strategic funding strategies because it delivers what the residents deserve for clean water at a great price,¡± said Brandon Pritchett, Public Utility Director, City of Pflugerville. ¡°While we have to do a lot of work to get there, it delivers a project that the ratepayers deserve, and a clean product that's going to be resilient and robust for the next 30 years.¡±
