Drinking Water State Revolving Fund in Rhode Island

Rhode Island x 66.468 is a DWSRF join, not a pipe census

This page pairs CFDA 66.468, DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND, with Rhode Island place of performance. The join is an EPA drinking-water capitalization listing crossed with a state location field, not Rhode Island’s entire water budget and not a census of pipes. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $174,756,000 on 10 awards. The extract does not list systems, miles of pipe, or project names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 10 awards equal 10 water systems or 10 projects.

Other EPA listings — clean-water SRF, emerging-contaminant set-asides, or different 66.xxx titles — sit outside this total unless they also carry 66.468. Mixing those listings into $174,756,000 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and lead-service-line inventories is not causation. Infrastructure inventories are not in the packet. Place of performance as Rhode Island locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $174,756,000 in the state treasury. Providence-versus-Newport folklore is not a system split in this packet. Clean-water SRF is a different CFDA even when the same state agency administers both funds.

10 awards behind $174.8 million

Mean obligation is about $17,475,600 if $174,756,000 were divided evenly across 10 lines. That ratio is not a published loan size and not a cost per mile of pipe. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of systems, projects, or households.

Ten lines are scannable on the overlay. Capitalization grants often post as few large rows to a state revolving fund. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Drinking Water State Revolving Fund in Rhode Island for the stored table. Do not convert 10 into a map of Rhode Island water systems. The $174,756,000 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a pipe census.
