Establishing a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is an important facet of the management of a water utility’s assets. This webinar provided participants with an overview of the components of a CIP.  It also highlighted how a CIP, along with other best management practices such as asset management and benchmarking, can improve a utility’s access to financing from the multiple federal and state programs that exist. The webinar also provided participants with descriptions of these financing programs that provide funding for water infrastructure projects.

In this webinar, attendees:

• Learned about creating a capital plan for your water system
• Viewed a demonstration of the EFCat UNC’s “What to Include in Your Capital Plan” Tool
• Understood the spectrum of financing options for water infrastructure needs
• Compared and contrasted grants versus loans and other more sustainable funding sources
