Why it matters for FloWater
The strongest commercial window comes before each state finalizes equipment eligibility, application rules and subrecipient selection. PolicySight can show FloWater where its stations fit, where they do not fit and when named account outreach should begin.

Recommended action
Create a state implementation tracker covering draft workplans, eligible remediation equipment, application dates, BABA treatment, match rules, award timing and named subrecipients. Begin with California, Texas, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Minnesota.

Evidence limits
The federal allotment goes to states and territories. It is not a direct award to FloWater or to any named school district, and it does not establish purchase intent.
