Clean Water State Revolving Fund - MO

The Missouri Clean Water State Revolving Fund provides communities a permanent, independent source of low-cost financing for a wide range of water quality infrastructure projects.  

About

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) is a funding mechanism available to local communities to pay for stormwater and wastewater projects that improve water quality.

The CWSRF is a low- to no-interest loan that can cover up to 100% of a water quality project鈥檚 cost. The loan payments are recycled back into the program to fund additional projects.

Competition for funds is high. Demand far outweighs available funds. However, states are able to determine funding priorities, loan terms and project eligibility.

The EPA has identified the CWSRF as a funding resource for green infrastructure and stormwater projects. Through the American Recovery Act of 2009, the Green Project Reserve was created that requires all CWSRF programs to use a portion of their federal grant for projects that address green infrastructure, energy efficiency or other environmentally innovative activities.
