SB152 modifies the West Virginia Infrastructure Fund to increase funding for critical water and wastewater facility upgrades.

SB152 amends the West Virginia Infrastructure Fund to allow the Water Development Authority to transfer up to $14 million annually to a Critical Needs and Failing Systems Sub Account. This account will fund upgrades to water and wastewater facilities to address critical needs, such as extending services, preventing failures due to age, or reducing maintenance and operational costs. The bill raises the cap on total project costs for these upgrades to $3 million and exempts these grants from certain limitations.
