Wisconsin allocates $484M for water infrastructure
Wisconsin officials announced on January 8, 2026, a $484 million investment for water infrastructure in the state. The allocation of these funds will be spread out over 82 municipalities. The funding from Clean Water Fund Program is designed to help small and disadvantaged municipalities while constructing needed infrastructure projects, including those that reduce phosphorus discharges and address aging equipment. A full list of preliminarily approved projects by municipality is available here.
“Ensuring every Wisconsinite has access to safe, clean drinking water has been a priority of mine since Day One, and thanks to programs like the Clean Water Fund, we’re able to support Wisconsin municipalities in their work to ensure our water infrastructure meets the needs of our kids, families, and neighborhoods,” said Gov. Tony Evers. “By providing a reliable and stable way to ensure each municipality’s water infrastructure receives the upgrades it needs, we’re working to effectively address and prevent harmful contaminants so that every Wisconsinite can trust the water coming out of their tap.”
