Second Notice from MDEQ Regarding Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund (WPCRLF)
TO: Mayors, Public Works Directors, Presidents of County Boards of Supervisors, County Administrators, Water/Wastewater/Utility District/Authority Directors, Consulting Engineers, and Other Interested Parties
FROM: MS Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Office of Pollution Control/Surface Water Division/Construction Branch
SUBJECT: Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund (WPCRLF)
FY–23 Funds Availability Notification
DATE: January 25, 2023
RE: !! DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE CWSRF FOR YOUR WASTEWATER FUNDING NEEDS !!
There’s been a lot of attention lately on “ARPA Funding” for infrastructure projects; but, don’t forget about the Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund (WPCRLF) Program [Mississippi’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Program] for all of your wastewater infrastructure funding needs! There are still historically low interest rates, historically high levels of WPCRLF funding available, and more subsidy funding becoming available to a broader range of applicants, due in part to the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (discussed in further detail below).
