the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF)

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) is a federal and state partnership that provides low-interest loans to local governments and utilities for clean water projects. These projects include upgrading wastewater treatment plants, repairing aging sewer systems, and improving stormwater management. The fund is replenished through federal and state contributions, allowing communities to finance infrastructure improvements affordable over time. The goal is to protect water quality, prevent pollution, and ensure safe, reliable water systems for residents and the environment.
