# New York Funds Water Infrastructure Projects

On October 22, 2026, New York’s Environmental Facilities Corporation approved $200 million in grants and low-cost financing for drinking water, stormwater, wastewater, and sewer projects across the state. The funding can lead to municipality-level design, construction, equipment, and related procurements. EFC is also accepting applications for $45 million in Green Resiliency Grants; the announcement states no application deadline. Additional federal support for State Revolving Funds under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ceases this year, making the state funding and local project pipeline particularly relevant to water-sector firms.

- Contractors should identify municipalities receiving funding and pursue the local solicitations tied to their approved projects; the announcement does not provide a consolidated list of procurements or contract awards.
- Municipalities may also seek the open Green Resiliency Grants, and contractors can engage with prospective applicants on projects that fit the program. No application deadline was stated.
- The approved package includes $40.3 million in low-cost financing for the Village of Harrison’s share of the Westchester Joint Water Works Rye Lake Water Filtration Plant, a specific project to track for related procurement activity.
