Wastewater Branch

The federal Water Quality Act of 1987 (the Act) created the State Revolving Fund Loan Program (commonly known as the SRF). The Act authorized low-interest loans for the construction of publicly owned wastewater treatment works (POTWs), for the implementation of a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control management program, and for the implementation of an estuary conservation and management program. In 1988, the Hawaii State Legislature passed Act 365 establishing a State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund to receive the federal capitalization grant. This Act was later superseded by HRS Chapter 342D-Part V.

The Clean Water SRF (CWSRF) Program assists in financing the construction of water pollution control projects necessary to prevent contamination of our groundwater and coastal water resources and to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the State of Hawaii. The CWSRF Program provides low-interest loans to county and state agencies to construct point source and nonpoint source water pollution control projects.
