There are several federal and state programs that provide financing for water infrastructure projects. This workshop will provide participants with descriptions of individual financing programs and how they may interact with each other. Speakers include persons involved in administering the programs in the state. Participants will receive basic information on best management practices such as asset management, rate-setting, and financial benchmarking which can enhance their system’s funding application.
