Description: In August 1996, Congress reauthorized the Safe Drinking Water Act which included the establishment of a drinking water state revolving fund (DWSRF). Each state will receive a portion of this appropriation in the form of a capitalization grant. The DWSRF provides low interest loans to help publicly owned and privately owned not-for-profit and for-profit water systems to make improvements to water systems to increase public health protection. The guidelines are based on the federal and state law along with other regulations. They provide program information regarding the application process for both the preapplication and the loan application, and describe what will be required if a loan is awarded.
