NRWA Revolving Loan Fund PDF Print E-mail

The NRWA Revolving Loan Fund was established under a grant from USDA/RUS to provide  financing to eligible utilities for pre-development  costs associated with proposed water and  wastewater projects.  RLF funds can also be used  with existing water/wastewater systems and the  short term costs incurred for replacement equipment,  small scale extension of services or other small  capital projects that are not a part of your regular  operations and maintenance.

What are the loan amounts?

    Loan amounts may not exceed $100,000 or 75% of the total project cost whichever is less.  Applicants will be given credit for documented project cost prior to receiving  the RLF loan.

What are the loan terms?

    The law authorizing the program allows a maximum repayment period of 10 years. Additional ranking points are awarded in the selection process for applicants that propose a  quicker repayment of the loan.  The repayment period cannot exceed the useful life of the facilities or financed item.

    5 year, interest only, pre-development loans will also be available.  

What is the interest rate?

    Loans will be made at the lower of the poverty or market interest rate as published by RUS, with a minimum of 3% at the time of closing.  The most current rates are available on the RUS Water and Environmental Programs Home page at www.usda.gov/rus/water.

What are the collateral requirements?

    As a minimum, a promissory note or comparable document authorized by the governing body will be required. Additional security may be required by the RLF administrator or loan  committee when deemed necessary as allowable under State law.
