Clean Water Board State Fiscal Year 2025 Clean Water Budget Overview
Introduction and Background
Vermont waterways nurture ecosystem wellbeing,
supply safe drinking water, strengthen tourism,
buoy property values, and provide recreational
opportunities like fishing, swimming, and boating.
For the benefit of current and future generations of
Vermont's people and wildlife, the state has made
a long-term commitment to the Clean Water
Initiative to provide the mechanisms, staffing, and
financing necessary so that our waterways achieve
and maintain compliance with the Vermont Water
Quality Standards.1
To this end, the Clean Water Board recommends
the annual Clean Water Budget, which provides
funding to help municipalities, farmers, and others
implement projects that will restore, enhance, and
protect Vermont's water quality, including
addressing priority sources of nutrient and
sediment pollution.
Vermont's Clean Water Board invites the public to
weigh in, annually, on how they would like to see
clean water funding used to restore, enhance, and
protect Vermont's water quality. The State Fiscal
Year (SFY) 2025 Clean Water Budget timeline is
summarized in the figure to the right.
