Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) Board of Directors has approved $665 million in financial assistance for water infrastructure projects across New York State.

“No one in New York should ever fear that they don’t have access to clean water,” said Governor Hochul. “This funding safeguards the health of New Yorkers, boosts local economies, creates jobs, and protects our natural resources.”

Of the total, more than $450 million will go to New York City for 13 sewer projects. These funds will minimize the financial burden on local ratepayers while advancing the city’s clean water goals. Earlier this year, EFC executed a $717 million bond sale to further support water projects, saving New York City ratepayers $183 million.
