Official description from dnr.wisconsin.gov

The Safe Drinking Water Emerging Contaminants (SDW-EC) Program provides funding for municipal water system projects that reduce or eliminate detectable PFAS contaminant compounds and, as of the State Fiscal Year 2027 funding cycle, certain manganese contamination. It is a subprogram of the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program and uses a separate scoring system to allocate principal forgiveness funding, with remaining costs able to be covered through SDWLP loan funds. The page also notes a related municipal EC-SDC grant funding stream under the same federal appropriation, but there is no separate application for that funding.
