Sixteen municipal water and sewer projects will address infrastructure needs and ensure long-term water quality with the help of $105 million in loans provided by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
The loans include $21 million in principal loan forgiveness to provide affordability assistance, implement green practices, and complete full-length lead service line replacements.
The 21st Century Infrastructure Commission has reported that there is an $800 million annual gap in funding water-related infrastructure needs. The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF) provide opportunities to help narrow that gap through low-interest loan financing for wastewater/stormwater improvements and drinking water improvements respectively.
The SRF was established in 1988 and has since provided low-interest loans totaling $4.95 billion for 601 projects in Michigan. The DWRF was established in 1997 and has since provided low-interest loans totaling $1.12 billion for 300 projects in Michigan. Funding for a portion of the SRF and DWRF programs is provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency through capitalization grants.
