I. Introduction

This analysis highlights activities financed by Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) 

capitalization grant set-asides to promote capacity development efforts. A national “one-year 

snapshot” for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2008 is provided, describing the four different set-asides 

and highlighting activities that states are pursuing to build system capacity. The body of this

document includes specific examples of set-aside uses that states may find relevant to their own 

Capacity Development Programs. In reviewing this document, states and the 10 Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) regional offices will be exposed to a variety of effective and allowable 

uses of the DWSRF set-asides. These activities can be seen as potential “tools in the toolbox” 

that states may not have previously considered as a means to encourage system sustainability. 

The analysis is based on three primary sources containing set-aside-related data: the DWSRF 

National Information Management System (DWNIMS); states’ DWSRF Intended Use Plans 

(IUPs); and states’ Capacity Development Reports to the Governor. All data used to identify 

trends and uses of set-asides in the body of this document have also been summarized by state in

Appendix A. 

Numerous examples of state-specific set-aside uses that were provided in the 2008 IUPs and 

latest triennial Capacity Development Reports to the Governor are cited in this analysis. 

However, the reader should recognize that many other states have comparable examples of such 

usages that may not have been included in these reports. Appendix A can serve as a reference for 

the reader to explore the various intended efforts of each state. It should be noted that this 

document is not a comprehensive report but rather a review of what state co-regulators deem to 

be an initiative to promote sustainable drinking water systems, supported by funds from the 

DWSRF set-asides during a one-year period. Further information can be obtained either by 

contacting state primacy agencies directly or by contacting the EPA DWSRF Coordinator in the 

appropriate Region (Appendix B). 

History 

Since the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) were passed, EPA and its 

state partners have been enhancing established programs and implementing new ideas that 

promote technical, managerial, and financial (TMF) capacity in public water systems (PWSs). 

This programmatic approach, referred to as “capacity development” in general and formalized in 

each state’s Capacity Development Program, is utilized by all 50 states and Puerto Rico. 

Based on 2008 Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) data, PWSs serving 10,000 or 

fewer customers represent over 97 percent of the nation’s PWSs. Small systems serve many 

populations, and can be categorized as community water systems (CWSs), non-transient noncommunity water systems (NTNCWSs), and transient non-community water systems

(TNCWSs). While many small systems consistently provide safe, reliable drinking water to their 

customers, small systems face a number of challenges in assuring long-term TMF capacity.

Overarching challenges that smaller systems face can include: 
Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability

October 2010 2 

• Lack of financial resources driven by economies of scale. 

• Ancillary ownership (i.e., water treatment and delivery is not the owner’s primary function). 

• Lack of a certified operator or poor staff retention. 

• Need to upgrade or replace aging infrastructure with inadequate funds. 

• Ability to maintain the quantity and quality of source water.

• Public’s increasing demand for low utility costs.

• Establishment of enhanced and more protective regulatory requirements. 

In recognition of the challenges facing smaller PWSs, Congress established several provisions of 

the 1996 SDWA Amendments including the implementation of Capacity Development 

Programs. This provision places a 

significant emphasis on assisting 

CWSs and NTNCWSs of all sizes in 

acquiring and maintaining their TMF 

capacity. TMF capacity is the ability 

to plan for, achieve, and continually 

provide safe and affordable drinking 

water to customers. 

As part of the 1996 SDWA 

Amendments, Congress established 

the DWSRF to provide states with a 

financing mechanism for drinking 

water projects and programs. Since 

July 1, 1996, states have used annual 

federal capitalization grant money to 

create revolving loan funds from which PWSs can borrow to finance infrastructure 

improvements (Exhibit 1). In addition to financing infrastructure through loans, states have the 

flexibility to set aside and award funds for targeted activities that can help states implement and 

expand their drinking water programs. The four DWSRF set-asides are: 

• Small System Technical Assistance (2%). 

• Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%). 

• State Program Management (10%) (which requires a 1:1 match from state funds). 

• Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) (also called 1452(k) Activities). 

Taken together, up to 31 percent of a state’s DWSRF capitalization grant can be set aside for 

activities other than infrastructure construction. These set-asides enable states to improve water 

system operation and management, emphasizing institutional capacity as a means of achieving 

sustainable water system operations. However, the use of set-asides must be balanced with the 

need to fund infrastructure. States have a finite amount of federal funding to spend, and any 

dollars that are set aside by the state programs are not spent directly on construction projects and

may not contribute to the revolving funds. Each state decides how much money to spend 

bolstering institutional capacity and how much to spend repairing or replacing infrastructure.

Because set-aside-funded programs cut across many state capacity development efforts, DWSRF 

set-asides can promote integration between various program components (Exhibit 2). This

analysis examines the impact that a variety of set-aside programs funded by the states and Puerto 

Rico have on capacity development. 

Methodology and Report Structure 

Data Sources

The following analysis is based on three primary sources containing set-aside data for FFY 2008: 

DWNIMS data, states’ DWSRF IUPs, and states’ Capacity Development Reports to the 

Governor. DWNIMS data is submitted annually and provides a record of progress and 

accountability for how DWSRF funds are spent. DWSRF IUPs are submitted by states annually

as a condition of receiving the DWSRF capitalization grant. Reports to the Governor are 

submitted on a triennial basis and are another condition of receiving the DWSRF capitalization 

grant. 

These three sources are different in scope and purpose and, as such, present discrepancies in 

examining each of the four set-asides. While DWNIMS data (which are compiled at a national 

level) provide an authoritative accounting of set-aside funding and utilization, they offer little 

context about set-aside spending on specific activities. State IUPs, on the other hand, provide 

greater detail on how states are planning to use their set-asides, but vary in the amount of 

information they provide because they lack a standardized format. As a result, descriptions of 

state activities funded by set-asides, as reported in IUPs and described in this document, should 

not be considered comprehensive accounts of all state activities. 

Reports to the Governor provide additional qualitative information about state set-aside

spending. However, there are a number of challenges in using these reports for this analysis. 

Exhibit 2: How DWSRF Set-Asides Promote Program Integration

October 2010 4 

Whereas DWNIMS and state IUPs provide specific information about funds from set-asides, the 

Reports to the Governor provide information about the state Capacity Development Program in 

general, often without specifying funding sources. Therefore, to complete Appendix A, it was 

necessary to assume that all capacity development activities were funded in part or entirely by 

set-asides unless the report explicitly stated that the activity was funded by some other source 

(e.g., fees). Because the specific set-aside used for each activity was not identified, best 

professional judgment was used to assign the most likely set-aside to each activity.

Report Structure

Section II of this report’s analysis of DWSRF set-asides provides an overview of state set-aside 

uses and a description of common activities that can be funded by multiple set-asides, including 

specific state projects funded with that set-aside. Section III provides general examples of setaside usage by states. Section IV concludes with a summary of state trends and potential uses of 

prospective set-aside funds. The appendices provide matrices on each state’s set-aside-funded 

programs and a list of EPA Regional DWSRF contacts. 

II. Common Activities that Can Be Funded through DWSRF 

Set-Asides

Overall State Set-Aside Use 

According to 2008 DWNIMS annual data, all 50 states and Puerto Rico have taken the 

Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside as well as the Local Assistance and 

State Programs (15%) set-aside. The 2008 DWNIMS annual data also show that the Small 

Systems Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside is nearing full participation, with 49 states and 

Puerto Rico taking these funds. Participation in the State Program Management (10%) set-aside, 

according to 2008 DWNIMS annual data, is lowest at 46 states and Puerto Rico. Several states in 

the past have indicated that they are unable to obtain the dollar-for-dollar matching funds that are 

required for this set-aside. 

The cumulative amount set aside for all states within all four categories since the program’s

inception in 1996 through 2009 is $1.6 billion. As of the end of FFY 2009, September 30, 2009, 

set-aside expenditures totaled slightly more than $1.25 billion, with an unspent balance of 

approximately $350 million. Set-asides can be reserved annually by the states but do not have to 

be expended by the end of the fiscal year in which they are taken.

Exhibit 3 presents cumulative set-aside award and utilization data for the four set-asides as of 

September 30, 2009. These data represent the use of set-aside funds by all participating states

and Puerto Rico.

The Four Set-Asides 

Several common set-aside-funded activities can be financed through multiple set-asides. The 

following sections describe cross-cutting activities in order to reduce redundancy in this report 

and provide a more accurate picture of how states can administer DWSRF set-aside funds. The 

level of variability in how states use funds from the individual set-asides is an indicator of the 

inherent flexibility in using set-aside funds. 

Each set-aside is tailored to specific programmatic outcomes; however, the activities conducted 

using each set-aside often overlap: 

Small System Technical Assistance (2%)

The Small Systems Technical Assistance set-aside allows states to use up to 2 percent of the 

federal capitalization grant to provide technical assistance to CWSs serving 10,000 or fewer 

persons. All states and Puerto Rico, except Illinois, have taken advantage of this set-aside at 

some point in the life of the DWSRF. Activities paid for with these funds include project 

planning, circuit riders, and special small system training. As noted previously, smaller drinking 

water systems typically face greater challenges than larger systems; states use set-aside funds to 

provide technical assistance and training to help small systems build the capacity they need to 

comply with current and future drinking water rules. According to DWNIMS most states do not 

take full advantage of the amount available. DWNIMS data indicate that in 2008, more than 

$11.6 million was awarded under the Small System Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside, 

providing essential funding to help small PWSs develop TMF capacity and maintain compliance. 

Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%)

The Administrative and Technical Assistance set-aside allows states to use up to 4 percent of the 

capitalization grant for costs associated with administering state DWSRF programs and 

providing technical assistance to systems of all sizes. Every state has utilized some portion of its 

annual DWSRF allotment under the Administrative and Technical Assistance set-aside. Many

states reserve this set-aside to cover a portion of the program administration costs; however, 

some utilize the flexibility of this set-aside to offer direct technical assistance to water systems in 

completing DWSRF loan applications, in various capacity development efforts, and in

developing outreach materials and reporting documentation. DWNIMS data indicate that 

approximately $23.7 million was awarded to states in 2008 under the Administrative and 

Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside. 

State Program Management (10%) 

The State Program Management set-aside allows states to use up to 10 percent of their annual 

allotment to develop and implement Capacity Development and Operator Certification 

Programs, administer Source Water Protection Programs (which may include technical 

assistance to prevent contamination of sources), or fund a portion of their PWSS program. The 

state must match this set-aside with a 1:1 dollar match, an “in-kind” match, or a combination of 

the two. In 2008, 46 states and Puerto Rico were awarded nearly $44.6 million under the State 

Program Management (10%) set-aside. 

Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) 

The Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside (also called 1452(k) Activities) 

allows states to use up to 15 percent of their annual allotments to assist in the development and 

implementation of local drinking water initiatives and other state programs. A maximum of 10 

percent of funds set aside can be spent on any single effort, including, to provide loans to acquire 

land or conservation easements for protection of source waters; to provide loans for the 

implementation of voluntary, incentive-based source water quality protection measures; to 

provide PWSs direct technical or financial assistance as part of a Capacity Development 

Strategy; and to assist PWSs with wellhead protection. In 2008, states were awarded over $45 

million under the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside. 

Outreach and Training Fundable Under: 2%, 4%, 10%, and 15% Set-Asides

Outreach and training at the state level are key tools for improving water system capacity. 

Additionally, these efforts raise public awareness and offer a degree of transparency and insight 

into system operation and management. In the best-case scenarios, outreach and training increase 

system performance and consumer confidence, assuring high-quality drinking water from wellmaintained, well-regulated suppliers. To this end, a majority of states are using DWSRF setaside funds to support outreach and training activities including those for sanitary surveys as well 

as for compliance and board member trainings. Because these activities may fall under the 

umbrella of a variety of state programs, from Operator Certification to Source Water Protection, 

applicable funds are drawn from across the Small Systems Technical Assistance (2%), 

Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%), State Program Management (10%), and Local 

Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-asides. Outreach and training is especially 

important for small systems and can be provided by state personnel, universities, or contracted 

technical assistance providers. Many states contract with third-party assistance providers to assist 

in conducting on-site visits and trainings. Hawaii has used these set-asides to fund public 

assistance and Virginia has conducted application workshops.

Education Efforts

Exhibit 6: Use of Set-Aside Funds for Outreach and 

Training Activities

DWSRF set-asides support public 

education efforts in 35 states (Exhibit 4). 

These include newsletters, Consumer

Confidence Reports (CCRs), and publicaccess Web sites with drinking water 

program and system information. A 

number of state-specific source water 

and wellhead protection programs also 

use set-aside funds to promote public 

awareness and program objectives, 

including teacher training and 

community outreach. 

States also utilize set-aside funds to train 

PWS operators and managers on TMF 

capacity. Set-aside funds are used by 42 

states and Puerto Rico to train system 

personnel and other stakeholders 

(Exhibit 5). Examples of such assistance 

include developing training modules 

about the regulatory requirements 

specific to certain water systems and 

providing Internet-based selfassessments for systems to identify ways 

to improve their operations and 

management. State trainings cover topics 

such as water loss prevention, 

compliance, public relations, financial 

management, and other topics relevant to 

maintaining effective system 

management.

States use a range of strategies to provide broad access to comprehensive Operator Certification 

and Training Programs, many of which incorporate contractual agreements for third-party 

trainers. Pennsylvania has used the 

Internet to create a platform for Webbased training sessions, and has also 

provided users access to lists of approved 

courses. 

Exhibit 6 shows the number of states using 

DWSRF set-aside funds for drinking water 

outreach and training activities. Activities 

include those focused specifically on 

capacity development as well as general 

water system outreach and training.

How States Are Using Set-Asides for Outreach and Training 







Many small PWSs in Louisiana are experiencing bacteriological maximum contaminant level 

(MCL) violations under the Total Coliform Rule. Louisiana reports using the Small System 

Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside to address the prevention of bacteriological MCL 

violations in two ways: (1) holding quarterly Safe Drinking Water Compliance Training 

Schools and (2) conducting on-site visits with the owners/operators of systems experiencing 

compliance problems. 

California reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to fund third-party 

contractors who have personnel with specialized small water system expertise to assist small 

water systems in developing their TMF capacities. These third-party contractors present 

workshops throughout the state regarding TMF elements. In addition, the University of 

California-Davis plans to also provide a class directed toward small systems to help them 

overcome engineering challenges. 

Connecticut reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to educate systems 

on financial assessment tools and on how to obtain revenue sources; to track, analyze and 

prepare reports concerning the status of all 84 PWSs serving over 1,000 persons that are 

required to submit water supply plans; to assist in the coordination of regional water supply 

forums; and to review interim conservation and development changes for the Connecticut 

Office of Policy and Management. 

Technical Assistance for Small Systems Fundable Under: 2%, 4%, 10%, and 

15% Set-Asides

Technical assistance to PWSs is integral to capacity development and provides a critical service 

to systems that are out of compliance. Such assistance is especially relevant for small systems 

(those serving fewer than 10,000 persons), many of which lack the TMF capacity to successfully 

address the challenges they face. Similar to outreach and training-related activities, technical 

assistance is provided in a wide variety of contexts, and states can draw from across the Small 

Systems Technical Assistance (2%), Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%), State 

Program Management (10%), and Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-asides 

to fund technical assistance initiatives.

October 2010 9 

Exhibit 7 summarizes the number of states that used DWSRF set-aside funds in FFY 2008 for 

technical assistance activities. For the purposes of this analysis, technical assistance consists of 

the following efforts. 

• 42 states report using set-aside funds for source water/wellhead protection initiatives.

IUP data show most states are pursuing source water/wellhead protection programs. The 

success of these initiatives depends on participation by PWSs statewide, many of which 

require technical assistance. Set-aside funds make it possible for states to assist smaller 

PWSs with source water and wellhead protection. Minnesota, for example, provides direct 

technical support to PWS owners to develop and implement surface water intake and 

wellhead protection plans. New Hampshire reports planning to provide 17 grants totaling 

$191,044 for source water protection projects in 2008. 

• 24 states report using set-aside funds for security-related efforts.

Technical assistance to enhance security includes coordinating emergency planning and 

response activities and assistance in preparing Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) and 

Emergency Response Plans (ERPs). Nebraska reports planning to use $345,000 from its 

Local Assistance and State Programs (15%) set-aside to provide funds to PWSs serving a 

population of 10,000 or less to improve the security of public water supplies. Funds can be 

used to install entry intrusion systems, hardened locks, fencing, and lighting. 

Exhibit 7: Use of Set-Aside Funds for Technical Assistance

• 15 states report using set-aside funds for leak detection/efficiency programs.

Assisting PWSs with leak detection and water efficiency programs conserves water resources 

and can increase suppliers’ fiscal health by reducing operating costs, avoiding water 

purchases, and postponing some capital improvement projects. A number of states are using 

set-aside funds to support leak detection and water efficiency programs. Examples include 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire, which offer local assistance grants for leak detection, 

and Virginia, which funds grants for leak detection programs that allow systems to upgrade 

waterlines. 

• 16 states report using set-aside funds for Area-Wide Optimization Program (AWOP) 

activities.

AWOP activities can help states target PWSs for assistance by identifying treatment 

processes, pumping systems, or other operations that are not efficient. By developing 

prioritization criteria and evaluating system performance, states can focus investment and 

capacity development efforts on the most critical at-risk systems, often generating substantial 

increases in public health protection at a lower cost. New Mexico reports using the State 

Program Management (10%) set-aside to fund a variety of activities associated with the 

state’s AWOP implementation program such as planning development, data management, 

staff training, turbidity sample collection, and system ranking.

• 4 states report using set-aside funds for pilot studies.

Pilot studies are useful in exploring options for improving PWS operation. For example, 

Delaware reports developing a new pilot project that provides scholarships to operators. The 

state plans to provide funding for five applicants to attend baseline instruction, two 

endorsement courses, and 10 one-day seminars. 

• 17 states report using set-aside funds to conduct rate studies.

Rate studies allow PWSs to determine if their rates are sufficient to cover costs of current and 

projected demands associated with collecting, storing, treating, and distributing a safe 

drinking water supply while also funding long-term capital improvements, level of service 

goals, debt obligations, and encouraging future efforts to address water conservation and 

establish a reserves account. Rate studies are particularly valuable in the context of 

managerial and financial capacity by identifying revenues to manage and maintain utility 

assets. Rate studies can also be used to compare water rates across user categories such as 

residences and commercial entities to determine appropriate rate structures. 

• 39 states report using set-aside funds to support site visits, many through circuit riders. 

Site visits by qualified water system technical assistance providers form the mainstay of 

technical assistance in many states, particularly for small, rural PWS operators who do not 

have the experience, equipment, training, or personnel to manage large or persistent 

problems. Site visits provide an opportunity for a hands-on, face-to-face exchange between 

operators and experts. They can help remedy technical difficulties or address non-compliance
Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability

October 2010 11 

problems, and many states structure site visits to provide managerial and financial guidance 

as part of their capacity development strategies.

Circuit riders offer states a cost-effective means of meeting demand for on-site technical and 

managerial assistance and training to water systems for water treatment issues, sampling and 

testing, equipment repair, valve exercising, hydrant flushing, and flow testing. Other 

assistance includes leak detection, rate reviews, loan and grant applications, and other 

managerial activities. Many states contract with national and state affiliates of the Rural 

Water Association (RWA), Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP), and similar 

groups to ensure adequate circuit rider coverage.

How States are using Set-Asides for Technical Assistance for Capacity Development



Maine reports using the Small System Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside to pay for two 

Water Quality Specialist circuit riders through the Maine RWA. Maine RWA submits an 

annual summary report reviewing the assistance activities that were performed.

South Dakota reports using the Small System Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside to provide 

grants for systems implementing a rate analysis using Rate Maker software. This set-aside 

also provided funding for the South Dakota RWA to provide on-site assistance, including 

rate analyses, to assist small systems in evaluating their TMF capacities.

Massachusetts reports using the Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside to 

administer Leak Detection and Water Conservation Capacity grants that were funded with 

the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside, and to coordinate with the 

Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust.

New York reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to perform security 

inspections at drinking water systems.

Texas reports using the Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside to fund 

technical assistance, including assistance regarding water conservation and ground water 

quality data. The state provided public service announcements, published printed reports, and 

released electronic data.

Arizona reports using $650,000 of the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) setaside for technical assistance to small systems ($500,000) and operational technical 

assistance ($150,000). Funding is used to organize meetings of the Rural Water Infrastructure 

Committee (RWIC) in rural areas of Arizona to allow small systems access to expertise on a 

wide range of subjects. The RWIC Web site is maintained to allow small systems to submit a 

summary of their needs and the RWIC committee members respond to the system if they 

have a program that will address their need.

Nebraska reports using the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside to 

fund preliminary engineering reports for systems serving 10,000 or fewer customers. These 

planning grants are used by systems that intend to have a future water improvement project 

financed with federal or state funds. The planning grant can fund up to 90 percent of the cost 

of the preliminary engineering report.

Nevada reports using funds from the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) setaside to provide technical assistance to enhance TMF capacity by providing financial 

management training to operators and other stakeholders, and assisting water systems with 

evaluating and implementing asset management. Nevada’s efforts also include a quarterly 

publication (“Water Lines”), which provides a variety of TMF information for operators and 

owners of PWSs. 

Ohio reports using the Small System Technical Assistance (2%) monies to fund a distinct 

technical assistance program called the Small System Technical Assistance Program. 

Vermont reports planning to spend approximately $50,000 from the Local Assistance and 

Other State Programs (15%) set-aside to finance a multi-year water conservation pilot project 

for an existing mobile home park. Installation of a new source meter to determine baseline 

water usage is planned and plumbing fixtures within the mobile homes will be replaced with 

WaterSense approved fixtures so that water use can be monitored. The goal of the project is 

to confirm that up to 20 percent reduction in water use is achievable without sacrificing 

fixture performance.

How States are using Set-Asides for Source Water and Wellhead Protection



Georgia reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to perform multimedia 

education and technical assistance to PWS operators and local government officials about the 

importance of implementing protection of source water. Georgia is also developing a series 

of GIS maps of drinking water intake locations for use in notifying downstream water 

systems of major spills. 

Colorado reports using $724,850 of the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) 

set-aside to support their Wellhead Program. These funds support implementation of the 

following activities:

• Completion of revised ground water susceptibility assessments. 

• Completion of new ground water/source water delineations. 

• Development and implementation of ground water protection plans. 

• PWS data improvement. 

• PWS community information and education. 

• Compilation and reporting of the national source water protection measures to EPA. 

New Mexico reports using a portion of the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) 

set-aside to fund the preparation of five source water protection plans for water systems that 

did not previously have plans as well as to evaluate ground water sources that are suspected 

of being under the influence of surface water to determine if there is potential for 

contamination.

 North Carolina reports using the Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside 

to provide $1,483,270 in loans for land acquisition and conservation through the Local 

Assistance and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside. The City of Creedmoor received a loan 

to acquire a 236-acre tract with more than two miles of forested and riparian buffers along 

high-quality streams as a conservation easement.

Technical Assistance for Disadvantaged Communities Under: 2%, 4%, 10%, 

and 15% Set-Asides 

While disadvantaged PWSs are not always small, they are similarly at-risk in terms of 

maintaining compliance and ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality drinking water. As 

additional regulations take effect and the number of requirements systems must meet increases, it 

is important that states provide these systems with targeted assistance. Disadvantaged 

communities benefit from concerted state support and are able to receive longer loan terms, 

lower interest rates, and/or principal forgiveness under the DWSRF if their state has an 

established Disadvantaged Communities Program. Disadvantaged Communities are designated 

by SDWA as PWS service areas that meet affordability criteria established by their state (section 

1452(d)(3)). Many states use consumer data, such as median household income, to define a 

system as disadvantaged. 

Nine states and Puerto Rico are using

set-aside funding for targeted technical 

assistance to disadvantaged systems 

(Exhibit 8). Much of the assistance 

provided to these systems is delivered as 

part of a capacity development strategy 

or in the context of broader technical 

assistance activities. Technical assistance 

for disadvantaged PWSs can occur in 

many forms, and site visits are 

particularly important for those systems 

that might not have the ability to travel to 

training sessions. 

In some cases, set-asides are used for 

upfront planning prior to the system’s 

receipt of a loan. For instance, Michigan 

used set-aside monies to help 

disadvantaged systems with project planning costs. In addition to receiving targeted assistance 

through the DWSRF set-asides, the infrastructure needs of disadvantaged systems are often 

prioritized through the loan application review and project ranking processes. 

How States are using Set-Asides for Disadvantaged Communities

 California reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside for inspections and 

surveys of water systems to evaluate treatment and infrastructure improvement needs with

particular emphasis on disadvantaged and small CWSs. This set-aside is used to fund 

specialized contractors with small water system expertise to assist small systems in 

developing TMF capacity. The contractors host workshops throughout the state, conduct 

household income surveys, and provide technical assistance to small systems that have been 

prioritized by state staff. These contractors provide individualized on-site consultation as 

requested. 

Restructuring Fundable Under: 2%, 4%, 10%, and 15% Set-Asides

In some cases, the long-term sustainability of a PWS will depend on a restructuring effort such 

as a partnership or consolidation. Partnerships can include informal cooperation, contractual 

assistance, a Joint Powers Agency, or an ownership transfer. These measures are intended to help 

systems achieve and maintain TMF capacity. These efforts also reflect a trend towards 

regionalization. Regionalization—the integration of otherwise disparate PWSs across a larger 

geographic area—is predicated on the economies of scale enjoyed by larger systems. These 

systems typically possess superior TMF resources, making them better equipped to maintain 

compliance and sustain long-term public 

health protection. 

In general, 17 states report using set-aside 

funds to encourage restructuring, to provide 

small systems guidance on the benefits of 

partnering or consolidating with another 

system, provide training or peer review 

forums targeted to operators and board 

members to encourage networking, or 

provide assistance in preparing studies to 

see if connecting to or partnering with 

another system is feasible (Exhibit 9). 

Different aspects of restructuring can be 

financed through different DWSRF setasides.

New York’s Department of Health reports using the Small System Technical Assistance 

(2%) to fund a technical assistance program for small water systems. One aspect of the 

program encourages water systems to consider collaborative or regional approaches to water 

supply services such as consolidating, forming partnerships, and initiating contract operation 

and maintenance agreements. 

Connecticut reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to identify systems 

that would benefit from restructuring and help these systems make organizational changes

State Drinking Water Program 

Administration Fundable Under: 

4% and 10% Set-Asides 

Support of state capacity development 

programs is a critical use of set-asides. 

Capacity development underlies each state’s 

effort to ensure an adequate, long-term 

supply of safe drinking water. By investing 

in the TMF capabilities of a state’s drinking 

water program, set-aside funds can be used 

to improve system performance, safety, and 

reliability. In total, 47 states and Puerto Rico 

report using set-aside funds to directly 

implement or manage the administration of 

their Capacity Development Program

(Exhibit 10). 

States use DWSRF set-asides to fund a 

number of specific efforts tied to capacity 

development, including inspections, 

enforcement, sanitary surveys, and data 

management. According to state IUPs and 

Reports to the Governor, most states are using the Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) 

and the State Program Management (10%) set-asides to fund these tasks. 

In addition to Capacity Development program administration, many states are using the setasides to supplement funding towards the management of their primacy agencies, including 

DWSRF administration. For example, states are able to apply funds from the State Program 

Management (10%) set-aside to hire staff. Based on their IUPs and Reports to the Governor, 27 

states are drawing from the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to support program or 

technical staff for management purposes (Exhibit 11).

inspections. 

26 states report using set-aside funds to support enforcement efforts.

These include general PWSS enforcement and enforcement of operator certification 

requirements.

41 states report using set-aside funds to support sanitary survey processes.

These include training for survey completion and use of surveys as an opening for capacity 

development initiatives, and small system assistance programs.

40 states report using set-aside funds to support data management activities. 

These include maintaining and updating SDWIS/State and program-specific (e.g., wellhead 

protection) databases, migration to electronic recordkeeping, integration of personal digital 

assistant (PDA)/handheld technologies, implementing Web-based access, expansion of 

geographic information system (GIS) capabilities, and software and hardware upgrades.

loan claims payments, track set-aside accounts, and manage the billing of interest and 

principal to assistance recipients.

Hawaii reports using the Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside for many 

tasks, including DWSRF program review, financial, managerial, and legal consultation, 

public assistance, data management, environmental review, review of plans and 

specifications, project inspections, and staff training. 

North Carolina reports using the Administrative and Technical Assistance (4%) set-aside to 

to provide technical assistance to small water systems completing DWSRF applications and

delivered to all PWSs quarterly. 

 Wisconsin reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to fund a Capacity 

Development Water Supply Specialist position, responsible for directing the state’s capacity 

development program. The specialist’s duties include developing capacity development 

objectives, preparing progress reports, interpreting regulations, reviewing water system 

capacity evaluations, and coordinating capacity development activities statewide.

Operator Certification Under: 2%, 10%, and 15% Set-Asides 

Operator certification is one specific area where states can have a significant impact on the 

capacity of PWSs. Many states use DWSRF funds to organize workshops, seminars, and other 

training events that provide operators with ongoing educational opportunities. This “continuing 

education” is a prerequisite for maintaining or renewing operator certification. 

Several states’ data management activities are linked to operator certification/licensing; these 

states are working to integrate databases that will enable more functional operator tracking and 

monitoring. 

Overall, 44 states and Puerto Rico use DWSRF set-aside funds to manage Operator Certification 

Programs. DWNIMS data show that participating states were awarded a total of $1.8 million in 

2008 from the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to fund Operator Certification 

Programs.

Delaware reports using the Small System Technical Assistance (2%) set-aside to fund 

operator training. The Delaware Technical and Community College was targeted to receive a 

portion of this set-aside to serve as the state’s sole provider of operator certification training. 

The college intends to revise its tests and courses to include hands-on training. If a very small 

system (e.g., mobile home community) owner can demonstrate that they have completed the 

Management Certificate coursework through Delaware Technical and Community College, 

then any person employed by that owner can get free training from the college for one year. 

California reports using the State Program Management (10%) set-aside to complete the

credits, track TCH credits, renew licenses, give examinations, and evaluate operator 

applicant credentials.

III. General State Usage of Set-Asides to Build TMF 

Capacity 

Colorado 

Colorado uses set-asides to help finance a variety of technical assistance initiatives including the 

Colorado Radionuclides Abatement and Disposal Strategy (or “CO-RADS”), which provides 

targeted assistance to the roughly 40 drinking water systems in the state with high levels of 

naturally occurring radionuclides. Other efforts include tailored technical assistance based on a 

system’s capacity assessment, Web-based resources and a self-assessment program, and 

comprehensive performance evaluations to help surface water systems identify the cause of 

performance-limiting factors at treatment facilities. Another initiative is the Drinking Water 

Coaching Program, through which TMF “coaches” provide direct assistance to the Colorado 

drinking water systems most in need. The coaches provide on-site, hands-on training, operational 

and management improvement tools, and consultation on alternative approaches systems can use 

to build capacity. 

DWSRF set-asides also fund comprehensive training programs that augment Colorado’s 

technical assistance efforts. Training initiatives include 4-5 day “schools” hosted by partner 

organizations that cover basic or advanced topics in drinking water treatment or distribution 

system management, monthly training classes held by the Rocky Mountain Section of the 

American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Colorado RWA, and specialized training 

on new regulations. Colorado also established an Excellence in Drinking Water Program to 

provide advanced training and leadership programs to help some of Colorado’s best operated and 

managed systems take their performance to a higher level. In addition, Colorado developed a 

training course for water system boards and councils, which has been delivered in five training 

sessions to approximately 100 water system managers and board/council members. A self-paced 

version of the course is available on digital video disc (DVD). 

Connecticut 

Connecticut’s Capacity Development Program relies on DWSRF set-asides to help water 

systems of all sizes develop and maintain sustainable operations. One state initiative aims to 

improve the capacity of public schools with their own water systems. This initiative has helped 

over 100 schools make major improvements or consolidate with other water systems, 

tremendously improving the drinking water in Connecticut public schools. 

Another successful capacity building effort has helped formalize and coordinate regional water 

resource planning activities. The state provides a forum for water utility representatives, local 

officials, and other stakeholders to come together to discuss long-range water supply planning 

issues, establish exclusive service areas, and produce a water supply plan for their region. The 

planning process encourages involved water systems to develop the appropriate capacity so they 

can execute their regional drinking water service responsibilities.

Indiana 

DWSRF set-asides and fees are important funding sources for the Indiana Department of 

Environmental Management’s (IDEM) Capacity Development Program. Indiana offers a wide 

range of both traditional and innovative approaches to help systems. Some examples include a 

“job bank” for operators and systems in need of an operator, a water system mentoring program, 

town manager and utility board manager training, and in-house planning and engineering 

assistance for small systems. 

To help systems build financial capacity, Indiana performs a rate, water use, and customer 

analysis for water systems. The analysis, which has been conducted for over 300 utilities, 

includes a comprehensive review of the water system’s current and projected finances and 

evaluates the effects of fixed and variable expenses on rates. The analysis has helped hundreds of 

water systems establish appropriate water rates.

IDEM also developed a self-assessment manual to help water systems determine their TMF

deficiencies. The manual has been a success among operators and IDEM staff, who use the selfassessment results to tailor new tools to the most pressing needs of the state’s water systems. 

Maine 

Maine uses set-asides to encourage consolidation. The state reports using the Local Assistance 

and Other State Programs (15%) set-aside to fund Water System Consolidation Grants in order to 

provide partial funding to water systems for the purpose of consolidating with another water 

system. The PWS applying for consolidation must have a TMF capacity issue that will be 

addressed by the consolidation with the more viable PWS. The receiving PWS must not exhibit 

TMF capacity deficiencies. The applying PWS must report a median household income of less 

than $35,178, and the project must complete the environmental review process that is currently 

part of the DWSRF construction loan program. Grant awards cannot exceed $100,000 and can 

fund no more than 50 percent of the cost of the water system consolidation for for-profit facilities 

and no more than 75 percent of the cost of consolidation for not-for-profit facilities. Qualifying 

costs include, but are not limited to, the following activities: planning and design, environmental 

review, income survey, and construction and abandonment of sources. The balance of the cost of 

system consolidation may be generated from any other source, including grants, loans or capital 

reserves. One possible funding source is the DWSRF loan program; however, the consolidating 

water systems must meet the appropriate application deadlines for the DWSRF loan process.

Missouri 

Missouri uses DWSRF set-asides for a variety of efforts to build TMF capacity in water systems. 

Several capacity development initiatives are targeted at helping small systems. For example, the 

state provides engineering contract services to very small systems, enabling system-wide 

evaluations and helping systems obtain funding for project development. Missouri also helps 

water systems of all sizes plan for droughts by conducting surface water supply studies. These 

studies determine the “firm yield” (i.e., maximum sustainable yield) of water sources in a 

multiple-year drought and have helped the state identify and assist water systems with 

inadequate storage or flow. 
Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability

October 2010 21 

Missouri’s Public Drinking Water Branch has also developed an electronic sanitary survey, 

which helps the state maintain up-to-date data by eliminating time-consuming paperwork. The 

electronic sanitary survey system creates a searchable database that helps the state evaluate TMF 

capacity and that can be integrated with GIS data. 

New Mexico

The New Mexico Drinking Water Bureau uses DWSRF set-asides to help fund its Capacity 

Development Program. New Mexico’s program has made significant progress in recent years, 

resulting in direct improvements in TMF capacity for the state’s most at-risk PWSs. This 

progress can be attributed in part to New Mexico’s assumption of responsibility for formal 

enforcement, which has allowed for increased coordination between enforcement and capacity 

activities. The state’s coordinated approach is facilitated through bi-monthly conference calls. 

New Mexico has learned that linking enforcement actions with an offer of capacity assistance

resources is an effective way to convince water systems to make necessary changes. Other 

changes in New Mexico’s Capacity Development Program are the result of a 2007 Executive 

Order, which required systems seeking funding for infrastructure projects to be assessed for 

capacity and to correct deficiencies before receiving funding. The Order also required the 

development of a Uniform Funding Application, which will create a central portal for 

applications for infrastructure funding, and a process to ensure that projects are fully funded. 

Other notable aspects of New Mexico’s Capacity Development Program include a multi-agency 

effort to support appropriate regionalization and a tiered system of capacity assessments, which 

saves resources by focusing time and energy on PWSs with significant problems or those 

applying for DWSRF assistance.

South Carolina 

South Carolina emphasizes capacity requirements for new systems. Since July 1, 1997, capacity 

reviews of new system applications in the state prevented approximately half of proposed water 

systems from being constructed because it was either more feasible to connect to an existing 

system or the applicant could not demonstrate necessary capacity for the project. According to 

the 2008 Report to the Governor, all new water systems permitted since 1997 in South Carolina 

are in compliance with the SDWA requirements. 

Texas

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) funds its Capacity Development 

Program with a portion of the available DWSRF set-asides. One of Texas’ innovative efforts is a 

“chat room” at the annual Water Supply Division’s Public Drinking Water conferences, which 

helps facilitate communication, partnerships, and understanding between water systems and state 

staff. The chat room is a conference highlight, offering an informal setting for TCEQ staff to 

answer specific questions from water system personnel.

Consolidation is another focus of Texas’s Capacity Development Program. TCEQ offers a 

voluntary consolidation assessment and assistance program for interested entities. TCEQ staff 
Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability

October 2010 22 

work with the systems to examine regionalization or restructuring options, facilitate community 

meetings, and assist systems with any necessary permits or approvals.

Texas has many capacity development initiatives centered on emergency response and disaster 

planning. The aftermath of Hurricane Rita in 2005 highlighted the lack of emergency 

preparedness by some water systems, which led TCEQ to require Vulnerability Assessments 

(VAs) and Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) for systems serving over 3,300 people. TCEQ 

remains committed to emergency preparedness, providing on-site assistance to develop VAs and 

drought contingency plans, model plans, security and emergency response checklists, and 

training focused on emergency response. TCEQ is also facilitating the Critical Facilities 

Infrastructure Mapping (CFIM) Project, which determines accurate locations of any critical 

infrastructure component that could be swept away or buried beneath debris in an emergency 

event.

IV. Conclusion

Set-Aside Trends 

State reporting of set-aside-funded activities shows that funds are being used as they were 

originally intended – for activities to strengthen water system management practices in an effort 

to address current system challenges and increase long-term capacity of systems nationwide. 

Much of the set-aside funds used by the states is geared towards implementing state capacity 

development strategies. Investing in state capacity development priorities can help PWSs achieve 

and maintain short- and long-term TMF capacity; the value of these efforts plays an integral role 

in public health protection. 

Efforts to assist small and disadvantaged PWSs through the use of set-asides are widely noted 

throughout state reports. The sheer number of small drinking water systems and the challenges 

many face are acknowledged through the vast technical assistance and outreach efforts that the 

states fund. Maintaining a direct relationship with PWSs statewide, whether through technical 

assistance, operator certification, training or other regulatory activities, is critical to most states’ 

efforts to increase compliance and capacity. These efforts, enabled through the set-asides, also 

support smaller or disadvantaged systems to technically, managerially, and financially position 

themselves for the opportunity to apply for a loan from the DWSRF at a future date. 

State investments in information technology and data management have shown to be an effective 

management and outreach tool in promoting capacity development. Maintaining or upgrading 

SDWIS/State data systems, integrating handheld/PDA technology into state networks, tracking 

operator certification, developing GIS and hydrologic/geologic data systems, and maintaining 

inventories of potential contaminants and source water assessments all contribute to expanded 

institutional capabilities, outreach, and overall PWS assistance. In addition, the Internet has been 

used as an effective communication tool for regulators, operators, and water system owners. 

These investments span the variety of state activities, contributing to capacity development at 

multiple levels.

As can be seen throughout this document, states use set-asides to fund many types of activities. 

With such diversity, it is important to understand the differences in state program organization 
Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability

October 2010 23 

and priorities in order to identify the activities and funding mechanisms that are most appropriate 

for each state. Identifying what “works” is crucial to managing a successful drinking water 

program. States should continue to review their capacity development programs and PWSS 

program priorities to determine the overall effectiveness of their set-aside usage. 

Steps to Assist Small Systems and Further System Sustainability through 

Use of DWSRF Set-Asides

Set-asides are used to further state capacity development programs, operator certification 

programs, and source water protection efforts through activities that focus on achieving a longterm, reliable supply of safe drinking water for the American public. As the nation looks to new 

challenges with water and energy availability, aging infrastructure, and population growth, future 

use of set-aside funds needs to support capacity development as a means toward achieving longterm sustainability. Shifting from reactionary management strategies to proactive, communityfocused planning efforts will be integral to addressing the public health goals of SDWA and to 

sustaining the economic and social strength of communities. 

Educating local decision makers and customers on the value of water treatment and delivery 

continues to be critical in planning for current and future efforts in maintaining the health of 

water systems. Set-asides should be used to support innovative system-wide and regional 

planning activities before infrastructure projects are finalized, as well as to support activities that 

increase managerial and financial capacity. In particular, asset management is an important tool 

for systems to use as they consider their needs and ability to provide services at an affordable 

rate to their communities. Where appropriate, set-asides should also be utilized to build 

collaborative partnerships among systems to address capacity challenges, including compliance 

with new regulations, operator support, and water availability. 

States have the primary responsibility to implement their DWSRF programs and should retain 

this role to ensure the flexibility to manage their funds is consistent with local conditions and 

challenges. EPA intends to continue working closely with our state co-regulators to identify 

innovative uses of set-asides to assist systems with compliance needs and long-term 

sustainability.

Comments

A portion of the Administration set-aside is used to fund positions of the SDWSRF Fiscal Support Team in the Accounting Section of the CDPH Administration functional area.

CDPH plans to continue the use of third-party contractors who offer personnel with specialized small water system expertise to assist small water systems in developing their TMF 

capacities. These third party contractors will present workshops throughout the state regarding the TMF elements.

CDPH will develop strategies to encourage water systems to complete the online TMF Tune-up and will use the statistical information obtained to evaluate the effectiveness of the setaside programs. A portion of the set-aside funds will support the development of a courses that would satisfy the high school diploma requirement for operator certification.
