Grants are made to State, municipal, intermunicipal, and interstate agencies to stimulate and assist in the construction of sewage treatment works. Funds are allocated to States and other jurisdictions on the basis of population and per capita income. Funds allotted to a State which are not obligated within 6 months following the end of the year for which appropriated are subject to reallotment to States having unmet needs. Before any funds are withdrawn from a State, however, additional grants may be made to communities experiencing Federal impact. State water pollution control agencies certify individual project priorities on the basis of the extent of water pollution and financial need. The Federal Government makes grant offers directly to the municipal or other sponsor of certified projects and administers the grants.

A grant may not exceed $600 thousand or 30% of the cost of the project for which it was awarded, whichever is smaller. Where a project serves more than one municipality, the grant is computed on the basis of each community's share of the project cost, under the 30% or $600 thousand limitations, but the aggregate amount of the grant may not exceed $2.4 million.
