CWSRF, DWSRF, and Georgia Fund
The CWSRF, DWSRF, and Georgia Fund call for projects for water quality (wastewater, stormwater, nonpoint source pollution), drinking water, and solid waste projects is open. Planning, engineering, design, and capital projects are eligible for financing. 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. GEFA reserves the right to offer principal forgiveness to those projects that meet a priority of a specific funding program.
GEFA has updated the project scoring criteria to rank projects. Project ranking is based on readiness to proceed, compliance benefits, public health (DWSRF), water quality (CWSRF), priority project types, priority planning elements, priority applicant status, and cybersecurity.
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.
