Call for Projects

Potential projects must have a completed pre-application to be included in the State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan.

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), and Georgia Fund call for projects for water quality (wastewater, stormwater, nonpoint source pollution), drinking water, and solid waste projects happens once a year. Planning, engineering, design, and construction projects are eligible for financing. Additional details on eligible projects are included in the resource documents below.

The 2027 call for projects period is now open for the following funding sources:

CWSRF
DWSRF
Georgia Fund

To be eligible for funding, please submit a pre-application by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 29, 2027. Pre-applications received after this time will not be scored. A pre-application does not obligate you to apply or guarantee funding. Applicants must complete the pre-application in its entirety, including all supplemental attachments. Please do not submit more than one pre-application for the same project.

GEFA is offering office hours for communities to meet with its project managers about potential projects. Click here to sign up for a 30-minute time slot to discuss your project's funding needs with GEFA staff.

GEFA will use affordability criteria and project rank to determine principal forgiveness for the CWSRF and DWSRF. Affordability criteria and scores for Georgia communities are located below. The scores are in the process of being updated. GEFA reserves the right to offer principal forgiveness to those projects that meet a priority of a specific funding program.

Project ranking is based on readiness to proceed, compliance benefits, public health (DWSRF), water quality (CWSRF), priority project types, priority planning elements, and priority applicant status.

CWSRF and DWSRF projects will be listed in priority order, incorporated into the Intended Use Plans, and submitted to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Conservation projects (water, energy, land conservation, and nonpoint source pollution control projects), WaterFirst and PlanFirst Communities, and communities with high affordability scores are eligible for interest rate discounts.
