SUMMARY:EFCN - CWSRF Funding Process Virtual Workshop Series: Economics and Affordability of Low Interest Rate Loans
DESCRIPTION:Join experts from the Environmental Finance Center Network for a no-cost webinar series on the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). This monthly series is intended to help you better understand the CWSRF funding process. \nSessions will be held on the third Thursday every month (excluding December 2023 which will be held on Tuesday\, December 19). \nApril 20\, 2023 | Session 4: Taking on capital improvement projects can be expensive and often necessitates financing\, such as loans. Since loans need to be paid back over time and may require rate increases to generate sufficient revenue for debt repayment\, it is beneficial to decrease the interest and principal as much as possible. Subsidized low-interest rate loans\, like the state Drinking Water or Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRF)\, can save money over time by offering lower interest rates compared to market rates and\, for qualifying communities\, partial principal forgiveness. We recommend low interest loans because they decrease impacts on the customer base. \nIn this webinar\, we will describe low-interest loans\, their merits\, and demonstrate two tools to help evaluate different loan options and their financial impact. We introduce the Subsidized Loan Calculator\, which allows you to compare different loan options and their total and annual debt payments now and 30 years down the road. We will also demonstrate the Affordability Tool to illustrate how different customers may be impacted by rate increases necessary to pay back the loans. Finally\, we will discuss a case study to consider why subsidized loans can be a good option for low-income communities. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAvailable financing options to you for your capital improvement projects\, and compare subsidized low-interest loans to market-rate loans\nEvaluate different loan options based on interest rates and\, if applicable\, principal forgiveness terms\nHow to use the Subsidized Loan Calculator tool to compare low-interest rate and market-rate loans\nUnderstand how taking on a loan can affect your customers\, depending on the loan terms\n\nPresenters: Kristen Downs\, Project Director\, UNC Environmental Finance Center

SUMMARY:RCAC - Metering Replacement Plans
DESCRIPTION:Description: The water meter is the cash register for public water systems! Water systems need an accurate measurement of the water being used by their residential\, commercial\, and industrial customers or they could potentially be losing money. The accuracy is vital for planning all aspects of water system operations from budgeting\, reporting to the primacy agency and planning for the short- and long-term future. It is crucial that the meters be replaced prior to a predetermined date (no more than 15 years) to ensure that the meters are still reading accurately. When replacing meters\, the public water system may want to consider replacing manual read water meters with radio read\, cellular read or other technology\, which brings us to funding. Will we be funding this from our existing budget\, or will we be seeking grant/loan money for a meter replacement project? \nParticipants will learn: \n\n Different types\, brands and styles of water meters and choosing the one best for your system\nProper application of water meters (types and size)\nInstalling a water meter\nBudgeting for water meter replacement vs. loans/grants for water meter replacement\nManual read water meters vs. smart meters\n\nThe recommended audience includes board members\, management and operators.
