#198: Funding To Fight Lead: Technical Assistance

Historic levels of funding are available to replace lead service lines across the United States.

But thousands of water systems are so small they lack the staff expertise and capacity needed to identify, apply for, and manage funds.

That’s why there is a massive push to expand and deploy technical assistance, including the launch of more environmental finance centers.

The effort is discussed in this episode with Palencia Mobley, Midwest Funding Navigator Manager for the Environmental Policy Innovation Center.

The episode also features a conversation with Dante Sawyer, Village Manager for Hazel Crest in Illinois, who shares the experience of a small municipality that utilized technical assistance to fund removal of lead lines.
