Bill > SB2507

This bill aims to bolster the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund, a program established as a partnership between the federal government and Hawaii to finance projects that prevent groundwater and coastal contamination and protect public health. The bill proposes to appropriate general funds into this revolving fund, which then uses these funds to offer low-interest loans to state and county agencies for water pollution control projects, such as improving wastewater systems, recognizing the increasing demand and potential health hazards associated with delayed infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, the bill appropriates funds out of the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund for the loan program itself, ensuring continued support for these vital environmental and economic initiatives.
