New Loan Program from Ohio Water Development AuthorityOhio Water Development Authority (OWDA) has developed a new 0% interest rate loan program. The loan program is for the planning and design of publicly owned wastewater systems for un-sewered areas that have failing individual home sewage systems. Payments on the design loan can be deferred and wrapped into any construction loan once the project construction is funded. Currently, many of these unsewered areas are unable to develop detail plans to address unsanitary conditions because they are unable to raise the needed local funds. Without detail plans, the projects are not "ready to proceed" and thus do not receive federal or state assistance monies when they do become available. A major reason for initiating this program at this time is to allow these projects to be "shovel ready" for potential federal economic stimulus funding. Applicable recipients include all local government agencies, water and sewer districts, and conservancy districts. Ohio EPA will be available to provide planning feedback and advice to loan recipients. The deadline for applications is July 15, 2009. More information is available on the OWDA Web page.
