PFA - Small Community Wastewater Treatment Program

Purpose
This program provides loans and grants to assist local governments with project costs associated with replacing non-complying Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) with new individual and small cluster SSTS that will be publicly owned and operated.

Customers and Services
Any governmental unit--including cities, counties, and townships--with a project ranked on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA's) Project Priority List is eligible. Eligible costs include design, construction, land acquisition, and related legal fees. The Public Facilities Authority (PFA) provides loans for up to 100 percent of eligible costs to replace non-complying SSTS with new systems. A community with median household income below the state average may receive a 50 percent grant. A community may also apply for a technical assistance grant up to $40,000 to conduct site evaluations and prepare a feasibility report.
