It accomplishes these objectives by providing low-interest loans and grants to cities, towns and water utilities through the Massachusetts State Revolving Funds (SRFs). The SRF programs are partnerships between the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. SRFs function like an environmental infrastructure bank by fi nancing water infrastructure projects in cities and towns across the Commonwealth. The City of Revere is eligible to receive a loan for $2,616,233 at 1.5% rate for Phase 15 Construction for Infl ow/Infi ltration, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, and Pump Station & Drainage, according to the release. Since 2010, the City has bonded approximately $50 million to address the illegal discharges and was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $130,000 for past violations of the Clean Water Act in order to comply with a Dept. of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Consent Decree to reduce illegal discharges of raw sewage overfl ows into the environment from its wastewater collection system and separate storm sewer system. Under the School Water Improvement Grants (SWIG), the Immaculate Conception School will receive a grant for $12,000.
