Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund (DWRLF)
The Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund Program (DWRLF) was established in 1997 under the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 to provide low-interest loans and technical assistance to public water systems in the state. The DWRLF assists water systems in complying with federal and state drinking water regulations, protecting public health by ensuring their customers receive safe drinking water. This program is funded through Environmental Protection Agency capitalization grants, which are matched each year with 20% state monies.
Mission and Vision
To improve the public health of Louisiana residents by assisting public water systems with delivering safe and affordable drinking water.
Purpose
To provide assistance in the form of low-interest loans and technical assistance to public water systems in the state to assist them in complying with state and federal drinking water regulations, to ensure that their customers are being provided with safe drinking water to protect public health.
DWRLF Loan Application Package
In order to be considered for a DWRLF loan, a water system must first submit a completed Loan Application Package to LDH-OPH. Upon receipt of all loan applications, LDH-OPH lists all eligible projects in Louisiana's annual funding plan for the DWRLF Program. There are two project lists compiled from the drinking water loan projects for which applicants have expressed an interest in financing. These lists are included in the program's Intended Use Plan (IUP).
