Creating Sewer and Water Infrastructure Replacement Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Creating Sewer and Water Infrastructure Replacement and Rehabilitation Act (SWIRRA), establishes a dedicated fund to provide grants for the replacement and rehabilitation of aging water and sewer infrastructure owned by governmental agencies in West Virginia. The bill requires the state to set aside a portion of surplus revenues each year to fund the SWIRRA, which will be managed by the West Virginia Investment Management Board. The West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council is authorized to award grants from the SWIRRA to cover up to 75% of eligible project costs, with a focus on addressing public health, economic development, and regulatory compliance needs. The bill outlines the application process and criteria the Council will use to evaluate and distribute the grants.
