Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Construction

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program assists public water systems in financing the cost of drinking water infrastructure projects. The program prioritizes financing for projects that address the most serious human health risks and are necessary to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. Eligible community water systems may receive principal forgiveness or grants ranging from $2,000,000 to 100% of the total eligible project cost. The program is ongoing, and applications are accepted on a continuous basis. • Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and tribal governments. • Eligible projects include construction of water systems' infrastructure, planning and design, administration, and construction management. • The program provides financing terms ranging from 0% interest to half of California's average general obligation bond rate. • Repayment may be amortized for 30 to 40 years or the useful life of the financed construction facilities.
