Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio EPA Director Anne M. Vogel announced $16.7 million in H2Ohio funding for 13 water infrastructure projects across the state.
The announcement marks the sixth round of H2Ohio funding the Ohio EPA has awarded to municipalities to improve water infrastructure and increase access to safe drinking water.
“H2Ohio is making a real difference with the significant investments we are putting into reliable, clean drinking water,” DeWine said in a release. “The projects being awarded today will have a huge positive impact [on] hundreds of Ohioans, and that’s what H2Ohio is all about.”
H2Ohio projects focus on regionalizing or consolidating water infrastructure to extend service to underserved areas. Regionalization allows communities to save on operational costs and benefit from improved infrastructure.
