Low-cost money available for sewer, stormwater and water infrastructure
The State Revolving Fund (SRF) offers a cheap source of long-term financing for public water systems, public wastewater systems and municipalities for infrastructure improvements. Some projects may qualify for a loan term up to 30 years and in certain cases projects or portions of projects may qualify for a lower rate (hardship, small system, takeover, stormwater or green).
SC's SRF Program, prior to developing the list of projects invited to apply for an SRF loan in the upcoming State Fiscal Year (SFY), is asking eligible sponsors interested in using SRF funding for a capital project in SFY 2017 to submit a project questionnaire by March 31, 2016.
To download a project questionnaire or find out more about eligible projects and technical requirements view 'SRF Documents and Forms' and 'SRF Guidance,'
here.
To speak to someone about the SRF Program, contact Shawn Clarke, SRF Program Manager, Shawn.Clarke@dhec.sc.gov, 803-898-3993.
