The NJWB is a partnership between the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) to provide low-cost financing for the design, construction, and implementation of projects that help to protect, maintain and improve water quality and projects to ensure safe drinking water.<\/p>\n

After this IUP is developed by the Department, it must undergo a public participation process, and be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the Department to be awarded the annual capitalization grants and additional federal funding available as a result of the BIL, which is used to finance water and wastewater infrastructure projects.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”5″ accent_color=”#33648e”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1706286235055{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
