Environmental Protection Agency officials were in Carlsbad on Wednesday to announce more than $182 million in federal funding that will be funneled to drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements throughout California.

 

EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld made the announcement at the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility, which has received about $37 million in low-interest loans funded by the federal agency over the past several years to nearly double output at the plant.
