Drinking Water State Revolving Fund — CFDA 66.468

What $12.61 billion on 429 awards means

Assistance listing 66.468 is titled DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $12,613,788,506. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a construction invoice already paid.

429 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $12,613,788,506 by 429 produces a mean near $29.4 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household water bill and not a per-pipe replacement cost. State revolving-fund dollars often sit on a modest number of large capitalization actions, which is why 429 records can carry $12,613,788,506.

81 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 52 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into systems served.

81 recipients across 52 states

CFDA 66.468 lists 81 recipients and 52 states against 429 awards. Recipient count is not unique water utilities. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A state revolving-fund agency can appear on multiple awards; 81 is not a headcount of treatment plants.

Fifty-two states is a coded-jurisdiction span consistent with a capitalization program that reaches most states and territories in the file. Because 429 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large capitalization actions can move $12,613,788,506 without a matching jump in the 81-recipient count.

Obligations versus revolving-fund outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $12,613,788,506 figure for CFDA 66.468 can include commitments that will revolve as loans and subsequent awards. A separate drinking-water infrastructure inventory or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 66.468 program page. Do not stretch 429 awards or 81 recipients to cover every water-infrastructure dollar in federal files.

What the 66.468 tables omit

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a loan-level tape, not a lead-pipe inventory, and not a water-quality scorecard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $12,613,788,506.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A statewide fund coded to one cell can dominate geography while projects sit in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 66.468

A worked reading of the 66.468 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 66.468: $12,613,788,506 in obligations, 429 awards, 81 recipients, and 52 states. The mean near $29.40 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 81 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 429 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $12,613,788,506.

Nothing in the extract splits DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 66.468 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 429 awards and 81 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $12,613,788,506. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $12,613,788,506 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 66.468, covering 429 awards, 81 recipients, and 52 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 429 awards into water systems upgraded, or 81 recipients into a utility census. The 52-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $12,613,788,506, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 429 award rows.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $12,613,788,506 in obligations for CFDA 66.468. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of water systems. The same extract lists 429 awards, 81 recipients, and 52 states.

Why does CFDA 66.468 have only 429 awards?

The indexed award count is 429. Capitalization dollars often sit on a relatively small number of large state-fund actions, which is why $12,613,788,506 can coexist with a modest record count. The 429 figure is a file statistic, not a count of construction sites. 81 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.

Does the SRF total include money already spent on pipes?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $12,613,788,506 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. Cite CFDA 66.468 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.

How many states appear on CFDA 66.468?

The extract codes 52 states for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every utility. Those rows still sit under the $12,613,788,506 obligation total and the 81-recipient count.
