Drinking Water State Revolving Fund in Mississippi

Eleven awards meet one Mississippi catalog cell

This tie keeps USAspending rows where CFDA 66.468 meets Mississippi as place of performance. The dollar book is $552,772,000. The award count is 11. The national Drinking Water State Revolving Fund page includes every state. The Mississippi federal spending hub includes every CFDA coded to MS. This page is the intersection only. Open Drinking Water State Revolving Fund in Mississippi for the overlay that still sums to those two facts.

CFDA 66.468 is titled DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND. Revolving-fund capitalization typically posts as a small number of large assistance awards to a state financing authority, which then lends or grants onward. This packet does not name that authority, list project cities, or split the $552,772,000 by treatment plant versus distribution main. The 11 figure is a record count in the extract, including modifications if they share award identifiers, not a count of wells or miles of pipe.

A large SRF cell in Mississippi does not prove that a particular system failed a health-based standard, and it does not rank counties as better or worse. The facts available here are state MS, CFDA 66.468, program name Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, $552,772,000 in obligations, and 11 awards. Correlation is not causation.

The $50,252,000 mean is a blend

Eleven awards under $552,772,000 divide evenly to $50,252,000 each. That exact quotient is useful as a scale check and misleading as a typical construction invoice. One capitalization grant can dwarf a later amendment; the packet has no median, no range, and no year-by-year split. Cite the two source columns rather than treating the mean as what a Mississippi utility actually billed.

Low award counts with high dollars are expected for revolving-fund capitalization, not evidence of a single shovel-ready contract. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $50,252,000 as a cost per connection or as an outlay.

Mississippi place of performance is not a project map

Place of performance Mississippi means USAspending tagged the award to MS. It does not itemize Jackson versus the Delta, and it does not prove that every construction dollar stayed inside the tagged county. Awards tagged to other states sit outside this cell even if Mississippi later received a transfer. $552,772,000 is not Mississippi’s all-agency obligation total; other CFDA lines live on the Mississippi programs index. Capitalization of a revolving fund is also not the same as a completed construction ledger: the 11 awards record federal obligations into the fund, not a punch-list of finished plants.

FEC filings do not fund this USAspending pair. Campaign money and federal drinking-water awards are separate public-record systems that happen to share a state name. This join does not compare Mississippi’s 66.468 cell to any other state because no other-state dollars appear in the packet.

Obligations versus cash and versus other EPA catalogs

The $552,772,000 figure is an obligation sum. Revolving-fund cash can move from EPA to the state and then to local borrowers on a different timetable than the obligation date. This page does not publish a 66.468-in-Mississippi outlay total. Other EPA water catalogs use other CFDA numbers; collapsing them into this cell would invent a total the facts do not support. Wastewater revolving funds, if they appear in USAspending, use a different program number and are outside these 11 awards.

Cite the join as CFDA 66.468 × Mississippi, $552,772,000, 11 awards, obligations only.

Where the parent tables sit

The Mississippi × Drinking Water State Revolving Fund overlay is the row-level view of $552,772,000 on 11 awards. Recipient slices on that hub still add toward the same two facts. CFDA 66.468 is the national program parent. Mississippi federal spending and Mississippi programs are the statewide parents. All spending ties lists other program–place pairs on the same basis.

None of those links convert the cell into a Safe Drinking Water Act violation count or into outlays this packet omits.

Questions

How much Drinking Water State Revolving Fund money is in Mississippi?

USAspending.gov shows $552,772,000 in CFDA 66.468 obligations coded to Mississippi across 11 awards. The join uses the program number and MS place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays, and it is not a count of water systems.

Why are there only 11 awards for $552.8 million?

Revolving-fund capitalization often posts as a few large awards to a state financing authority. The extract counts 11 records tagged to CFDA 66.468 and Mississippi. $552,772,000 ÷ 11 equals $50,252,000 per award. That mean is not a typical construction invoice; the packet does not name recipients.

Is $552.8 million Mississippi’s full federal water spending?

No. $552,772,000 is only the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund cell. Other CFDA programs with Mississippi place of performance sit on the statewide programs list. Nationwide CFDA 66.468 includes every state, so it is not this intersection.

Do these obligations equal cash spent on drinking-water projects?

No. $552,772,000 is an obligation sum. Outlays and later loans from the revolving fund are different movements. The packet does not publish a Mississippi 66.468 outlay total or a project-level map. Cite the 11 awards as USAspending commitments tagged to CFDA 66.468 and Mississippi, not as a construction closeout.
