CWSRF Eligibility Graphic

Introducing the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, the nation’s solution for low-cost infrastructure financing since 1987! Read statistics and a bit about the EPA’s eligibility criteria. Through 2018 end of year, 39,948 loan agreements and a cumulative $133 billion in funding have been given. Apply for financing through your state’s CWSRF. The EPA funds eligible projects with an additional 20% funding coming from your state. CWSRF offers below-market average interest rates, around 1.5% with additional subsidies possible. Communities, private entities, nonprofit organizations, and citizen groups may all be eligible. Terms of state revolving funds typically last the life of the project if it doesn’t exceed 30 years, requiring repayment a year after completion of the project, and on average returning $3 to communities for every $1 of federal investment.
