The Board may make loans to finance all or part of a drinking water project only after credit enhancement agreements and interest buy-down agreements have been evaluated and found either unavailable or unreasonably expensive. The financing alternative chosen should be the one most economically advantageous for the state and its political subdivisions. A loan origination fee is a fee assessed to the loan recipient as a percentage of the principal balance of the loan. This fee will not be charged to any disadvantaged community receiving a loan subsidy as part Drinking Water State Revolving Fund financial assistance.
