What is the SRF?
The State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs are low interest loan programs for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater or nonpoint source infrastructure projects. Examples include: water and sewer line replacements and extensions, new water storage tanks, tank refurbishment, treatment projects, and much more! Our loan terms consist of 20-40* year terms with competitive interest rates. Interest rates are set annually and have not been established for the 2021 funding cycle, however, current interest rates range from 0.50 percent to 2.5 percent.
How do I apply?
If you are interested in receiving funding from either SRF loan program, you must coordinate with your Area Development District Planner to prepare an electronic Project Profile. Information contained in the Project Profile will be used by the Division of Water (DOW) to score and rank projects based on the published set of criteria. Requests for funding will not be accepted after the Call for Projects period ends.
How do I know if I will receive funding?
After the Call for Projects closes in December, the Division of Water scores all of the projects submitted for consideration and prepares a Project Priority List. This list is released in May of each year as part of the Intended Use Plan or IUP. Projects are funded in ranked priority order.
