Drinking Water State Revolving Funds can be used for infrastructure improvements in drinking water systems.

The DWSRF emphasizes funding to small and economically disadvantaged communities and other programs that

promote safe drinking water.

Page 4: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Six categories of projects are eligible to receive DWSRF assistance:

Page 5: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Treatment: Projects to install or upgrade facilities to improve drinking water quality to comply with SDWA regulations

Page 6: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Transmission and Distribution: Rehabilitation, replacement, or installation of pipes to improve water pressure to safe levels or to prevent contamination caused by leaky or broken pipes

Page 7: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Source: Rehabilitation of wells or development of eligible sources to replace contaminated sources

Page 8: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Storage: Installation or upgrade of finished water storage tanks to prevent microbiological contamination from entering the distribution system

Page 9: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Consolidation: Interconnecting two or more water systems

Page 10: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Creation of New Systems: Construction of a new system to serve homes with contaminated individual wells, or consolidation of existing systems into a new regional water system

Page 11: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Clean Water State Revolving Funds can be used for water quality protection projects for centralized and decentralized wastewater treatment, nonpoint source pollution control, and watershed and estuary management. The CWSRF uses federal, state, and other

program funds to provide low-interest loans to communities for water quality projects.

Page 27: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

WEP provides funding for the construction of water and waste facilities in rural communities and also provides funding to organizations that

provide technical assistance and training to rural communities in relation to their water and waste activities. WEP is administered

through National Office staff in Washington, DC, and a network of field staff in each State.

Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants

Helps eligible communities prepare for, or recover from, an emergency that threatens the availability of safe, reliable drinking water for households and businesses.

Emergencies include drought or flood; earthquake; tornado; hurricane; disease outbreak; chemical spill, leak, or seepage; or other disasters

Page 29: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Water & Waste Disposal Loan & Grant Program

Provides funding for clean and reliable drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, sanitary solid waste disposal, and storm water drainage to households and businesses in eligible rural areas.

This program assists qualified applicants that are not otherwise able to obtain commercial credit on reasonable terms.

Page 30: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Water & Waste Disposal Loan & Grant Program Funds may be used to finance the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the following:

• Drinking water sourcing, treatment, storage, & distribution• Sewer collection, transmission, treatment, & disposal• Solid waste collection, disposal, & closure• Stormwater collection, transmission, & disposal

Page 31: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Water & Waste Disposal Predevelopment Planning GrantsAssists low-income communities with initial planning and

development of an application for USDA Rural Development Water and Waste Disposal direct loan/grant and loan guarantee programs

Grants may be used to pay part of the costs of developing a complete application for USDA Rural Development Water & Waste Disposal direct loan/grant and loan guarantee programs.

Page 32: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Provides communities with resources to address a wide range of community

development needs.

Page 33: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are generally used for long-term community needs, including mitigation. Utilities can use these grants to buy, construct, or fix public facilities such as water and sewer systems. They can also match FEMA grants. Grantees may

fund activities that meet urgent community development needs.

Page 34: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

CDBG funds may be used for many different activities, including the following:

• Construction or reconstruction of water and sewer facilities, streets, and other public works

• Relocation and demolition• Rehabilitation of public and private buildings• Planning activities• Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable

energy resources

Public Works Program

EDA’s Public Works Program helps distressed communities revitalize, expand, and upgrade their physical infrastructure. This program enables communities to attract new industry, encourage

business expansion, diversify local economies, and generate or retain long-term, private-sector jobs and investment through the acquisition or development of land and infrastructure improvements needed for

the successful establishment or expansion of industrial or commercial enterprises.

Page 37: Water & Wastewater Funding Opportunities

EDA invests in public works projects, including water and sewer systems improvements, that meet the following criteria:• The project’s demonstrated alignment with at least one of

EDA’s current investment priorities • The project’s potential to promote job creation and private

investment in the regional economy• The likelihood that the project will achieve its projected

outcomes• Ability of the applicant to successfully implement the

proposed project, including financial and management
