Description
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) provides low-interest loans for planning, designing and constructing water pollution control facilities. It supports wastewater, stormwater, and certain energy and other projects, with separate financing for planning, design and construction. DEP uses funding requests to establish project priorities and allocate available funds.
The complementary Small Community Wastewater Construction Grants (SCWCG) Program helps eligible small communities and wastewater authorities develop wastewater management facilities. These grants reduce the amount owed on a CWSRF loan, with the highest priority given to projects addressing public health risks or included in a Basin Management Action Plan. DEP also offers administrative, programmatic and technical assistance through combined CWSRF and Drinking Water SRF office hours.
