Governor Tony Evers’ administration announces more than $406 million in federal funds for safe drinking water in Wisconsin.
The funding has been allocated to more than 106 municipalities. Some of the projects getting preliminary approval for funding include more than $30 million to help Milwaukee replace lead service lines, and more than $17 million for the city of Wausau to reduce PFAs contamination in drinking water through creation of a new water treatment system, along with another 5.8 million to replace lead service lines.
In all, Evers said the investments will help replace more than 167,00 lead service lines in the state.
