There is a requirement for congressionally directed spending that the federal cost share for any state or local water infrastructure grant is 20%. For example, a $1 million project could
receive a maximum of $800k. Further, in almost all cases, other federal funds cannot be used to meet the remaining 20% share. Please further note that only the non-federal portion of
assistance provided by a State Revolving Loan Fund can be applied towards a project’s matching requirement. Can you please verify that your project meets the above guidelines? State
and local matching funds will greatly exceed the 20% minimum cost share for this project.
