Funding and Staffing a Program
Initially, 319 grants may be available from the State to write a wastewater management ordinance. Typically Rhode Island towns have been able to secure $25,000 from DEM, which has been used to hire a consultant to write a wastewater management plan and lobby for support of the program. Once you have an approved wastewater plan, the community is eligible
for Community Septic System Loan Program (CSSLP), through Clean
Water Finance Agency. CSSLP provides low interest loans in amounts
up to $25,000 to residents for replacement of failed or substandard
systems. For a presentation
