Help EFC fund as many water quality projects as possible
Your participation is critical
Does your community have water quality infrastructure that is outdated or in need of repair? The Environmental Facilities Corporation needs your help to ensure we can fund as many water quality infrastructure projects as possible in upcoming years. We need local governments and other eligible recipients to participate in the Clean Watersheds Needs Survey (CWNS). Your participation is critical to ensure New York State continues to receive a high level of funding for water quality infrastructure projects.
You can help by submitting your community's needs and cost documentation to EFC. Together with other communities, your participation will help show the need for water quality infrastructure funding to federal lawmakers who decide how much money our state will receive.
