Fresno will receive nearly millions of dollars in federal funding to improve water infrastructure.  Rep. Jim Costa (D–Fresno) announced Wednesday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding Fresno $3.7 million. … The $3,700,214 in funding from the EPA will go toward replacing failing water pipes and to protect Fresno’s drinking water system infrastructure from drought. It is the first time the EPA has awarded funding under the Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability grant program. Further, the city was also awarded $494,390 through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Grant Program, which was funded by the 2021 infrastructure law. Those funds will help with renewable energy capacity, technical knowledge and the deployment of clean energy efficiency projects.
