Funding of Wastewater Treatment Systems from Florida's State Revolving Loan Fund
Background
The State Revolving Loan Fund is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection
through the Water Facilities Funding Program, It makes low-interest loans available for construction,
rehabilitation, and replacement of facilities needed to collect, treat, dispose of, or reuse municipal
wastewater, It is a revolving fund because loan repayments are used to make additional loans. Over the
past 10 years, domestic wastewater treatment facilities received over 0.9 billion dollars through the
state revolving loan fund, Many domestic wastewater projects throughout the state received a
significant portion of these monies.
