About the Grant:
The Emerging Contaminants Grant for Small or Disadvantaged Communities targets water systems affected by toxic chemicals like PFAS. Administered by the EPA, this program provides funding to test, treat, and remove these harmful substances—especially in communities that historically lack access to safe drinking water. It’s part of a broader effort to ensure environmental justice and public health protection by delivering clean, reliable water to those who need it most. LA’s smaller systems can benefit significantly from this resource.
