The expected DWSRF Loan terms are 2.125 percent for 30 years. The Board of Water and Natural Resources may forgive all or a portion of the loan principal. The amount and source of funds will be determined by the Board of Water and Natural Resources when the applications are presented at a scheduled board meeting.
