PFA - Wastewater Infrastructure Fund

Purpose
This program provides supplemental grants to assist municipalities with high-cost, high-priority needs to build cost-effective wastewater projects that address existing environmental or public health problems.

Customers and Services
Any city, county, township, sanitary district, or other governmental subdivision having primary responsibility for wastewater treatment is eligible. Eligible project costs are those necessary to meet a municipality's existing wastewater treatment needs; costs related to future residential/commercial/industrial growth are not eligible.

Municipalities that receive wastewater financing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Development program may receive a Wastewater Infrastructure Fund (WIF) matching grant for up to 65 percent of the total eligible grant amount determined by Rural Development. Municipalities that do not receive financing from USDA Rural Development may receive a WIF grant to supplement a loan from the Clean Water Revolving Fund if the average system cost per household exceeds 1.4 percent of median household income.
