The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Utilities Service has announced that more than $4 billion in Direct Loan funds and $1 billion in grant funding is available for rural water and wastewater system improvements — marking a nearly threefold increase in the normal annual obligation.
The funding is available for small municipalities (population of 10,000 or fewer) to construct a water tank, install new water or sewer lines or build a wastewater treatment plant along with a myriad of other projects.
Funding is provided through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program.
