Call For Projects
Main Content
Each year, KIA issues a Call for Projects where potential borrowers are invited to submit CWSRF and DWSRF project information via the WRIS. A Call for Projects occurs mid September to mid December each year via a press release through the Governor’s Office. Additionally, an email distribution is sent to all sewer utilities, ADDs, mayors, county judge executives, and the engineering community.
Properly submitted projects are considered for funding and eligible projects placed on the project priority list. Projects are evaluated and assigned a score based upon the ranking criteria in the Priority System Guidance Document. In the event of a tie, the following factors were utilized to priority rank each project:
- The size of service of a small system as defined by population;
- Projects with existing enforcement actions (i.e. Agreed Orders, Consent Decrees);
- Water quality impacts of the project; and
- Financial need as evidenced by the median household income of the applicant.
