Abstract
The Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) is a US Environmental Protection Agency finance program that has gained bipartisan support over its decade of existence.
WIFIA is designed to accelerate nationally or regionally significant infrastructure projects by providing low-interest loans for water projects.
Loan amounts vary across project types, but not among project types per capita.
Generally, stormwater and drinking water project types have lower loan amounts, while wastewater and reuse project types have a wider range.
