Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program (DWSRF)

 

water facility constructionThe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program provides low-interest loans to Eligible Entities for planning, designing, and constructing public water facilities.  The Department solicits project information throughout the year. The information is used to establish the project priority list for the following annual cycle. Funds are made available for Pre-construction Loans to rate-based public water systems, Construction Loans of $75,000 minimum or more, and Pre-construction Grants and Construction Grants to small financially disadvantaged communities. The Loan Terms include a 20-year (30-year for financially disadvantaged communities) amortization and low-interest rates. Small community assistance is available for communities having populations less than 10,000. Each year 15% of the funds are reserved exclusively for their use. In addition, small communities may qualify for loans from the unreserved 85% of the funds.
