EPA Water Technical Assistance

EPA WaterTA aims to assist communities with applications for federal funding, quality infrastructure, and reliable water services in partnership with drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities and local government. If your community is facing drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater challenges, you can submit a request for no-cost, direct assistance using the WaterTA Request Form. Please note that WaterTA is not a grant program, nor does it provide direct monetary assistance. 

Additional Information:
The EPA’s free WaterTA increases access to safe and reliable water and wastewater services for communities nationwide by providing hands-on support to identify water infrastructure or water quality challenges, develop plans to address these challenges, build technical, managerial, and financial capacity, maintain regulatory compliance, prepare application materials to finance water infrastructure projects with public funding, and improve resilience. For example, WaterTA providers can assist with planning, assessment, project development, partnerships and engagement, applying for funding and financing, and program management.
