Drinking Water Assistance Fund (DWAF)

The DWAF provides financial and technical assistance to public and private water systems to improve or protect drinking water quality. The fund includes the Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA), Source Water Assessment and Protection Program (SWAP), and technical assistance through the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP). Projects and Considerations: Lead Service Line (LSL) Replacement: Funds for inventory and replacement Emerging Contaminants (EC) (e.g., PFAS): Support for planning and mitigation Asset Management Plans: Required for water systems Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA): Water main replacement, treatment upgrades Principal forgiveness is available for many projects funded by the WSRLA. Website: Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance Governing Statute: Ohio Revised Code 6109.22 Eligibility: Community water systems, both privately and publicly owned, and nonprofit non-community water systems are eligible for drinking water infrastructure loan funding through the Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WRSLA). Specifications: Below-market interest rate loans are available for planning, design, and construction of water treatment facilities, storage facilities and distributions system improvements, with planning and design loans currently offered at 0 percent interest. The standard below-market interest rate is established monthly. The program also offers a small community interest rate, as well as a disadvantaged community rate for qualifying borrowers. Limited principal forgiveness is available for borrowers that meet the disadvantaged community benchmarks and regionalization projects. Principal forgiveness funding is very competitive, based on project scoring and readiness-to-proceed. There are currently no minimum or maximum loan amounts. The WSRLA finances approximately $150 million for projects each year. Application Deadline: Project nominations are accepted each March for the upcoming program year, which begins July 1. Planning and design projects may be nominated throughout the program year.
