VERMONT DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND
Request for Priority List Applications
The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments authorized low interest loans using federal and state funds administered by the State for water system improvements. Funds for loans to municipalities and certain privately owned water systems for planning, final design and construction, repairing or improving public water systems to comply with State and Federal standards and protect public health will be available.
A list of projects (in priority order) to be funded during the period October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 is now being developed. If you would like an application form for your water system improvement project to get on the priority list, please call the Water Supply Division at 1-800-823-6500. Additionally, a copy of the form can be found and completed online on the Water Supply Division website at: http://www.vermontdrinkingwater.org/forms/DWSRFPriorityListApplication.doc
New or updated previously submitted applications are required. Completed applications must be returned to the Water Supply Division before close of business on Friday, April 4, 2008. We plan to have a draft priority list available by Friday, May 23, 2008. A public meeting to receive comments on the draft priority list and the FY 2008 DWSRF Vermont Intended Use Plan will be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. in the Pavilion Auditorium in Montpelier, Vermont. Final written comments will be due by Monday, June 30, 2008. Our goal is to submit the final draft of the 2008 Priority List and Intended Use Plan to the United States Environmental Protection Agency by August 1, 2008.
If you have questions about completing the application form or the loan program in general, please contact Bryan Redmond toll-free in Vermont at 1-800-823-6500, direct at 1-802-241-3408 or by fax at 1-802-241-3284. We look forward to assisting you with your water system improvement needs. |
