PFA - Drinking Water Revolving Fund

Purpose
This program enables borrowers to finance public drinking water storage, treatment, and distribution systems that meet U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act standards.

Customers and Services
Any county, city, township, regional entity, other governmental entity, or other entities having primary responsibility for providing public drinking water are eligible. The Public Facilities Authority (PFA) provides below-market rate loans to borrowers to upgrade and construct public drinking water systems.

Allowable costs include site preparation, land acquisition, construction, engineering, equipment and machinery, bond issuance, and certain fees and contingency costs. Projects that are primarily to serve growth are not eligible. Projects must be included on the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) Project Priority List and on the PFA's Intended Use Plan (IUP), and projects must be certified by MDH before the PFA may consider approving a loan.
