FPUA cites more than $100M in grants, PFAS funds and capital priorities in FY27 plan
Summary
Finance staff told the board FPUA has secured over $100 million in grants to date and included PFAS settlement funds and prioritized wastewater, electric and fiber projects in the FY27 capital plan.
During the FY2027 budget presentation, FPUA finance staff highlighted that the organization has been awarded more than $100,000,000 in grants across projects and that PFAS settlement funds are a modest but targeted funding source for capital work.
Staff said completed grants total about $44,000,000, active continuing grants $54,000,000 and about $10,000,000 pending, and that to date FPUA has received about $8,000,000 of a $10,000,000 PFAS settlement allocation. The FY27 grants budget was listed at $15,100,000 tied to conveyance, grid resiliency, sewer connection and other targeted projects.
Board members and staff noted that grant reimbursements and careful reimbursement documentation have helped postpone a larger immediate debt issuance and reduced near‑term rate pressure. Staff also listed capital priorities for FY27 including wastewater conveyance completion (largest FY27 capital share at 46%), electric enhancements and the continuation of AMI implementation.
