Maine will receive more than $62 million in federal funding to upgrade its drinking water infrastructure. In February, the EPA announced $18 million in federal funding to Maine for similar upgrades.

Maine’s Congressional delegation said it will aid “long overdue” infrastructure improvements. A portion of the funding nationwide will identify and replace lead water pipes.
