SRF Forum Co-convenor EPIC will present and facilitate a workshop on two new resources that provide data insights to support your SRF asks:
- DWSRF Funding Tracker: The Tracker analyzes DWSRF investments at the Intended Use Plan (IUP) stage across 15 focus states to reveal funding trends, disparities, and program performance. Each state’s findings inform practical recommendations to improve accessibility for small and disadvantaged systems and move funds to projects on a more timely basis.
- National Drinking Water Explorer- Data Set and Tool: This tool consolidates 50 variables from 11 datasets across 6 organizations and agencies: EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Information System and SRF awards, to TCEQ boil water notices, Census socioeconomic data, Duke University’s Water Affordability Dashboard, EDF’s Climate Vulnerability Index, and CEQ’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. The tool makes data accessible at the service area level to support more equitable decision-making for investments in technical assistance, project funding, and education.
📊 In this learning session, you will:
💧 Learn how the DWSRF Funding Tracker and Drinking Water Explorer can strengthen your SRF advocacy.
💧 Explore how these resources can provide data to help answer questions you have about SRF program performance and policies in your state.
