State Revolving Loan Fund
The Wyoming State Revolving Funds Program (SRF) consists of two separate loan funds that assist public entities with funding for water or wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. Our team assists public entities with loan application process for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and/or the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
SRF loans are normally at 2.5% interest with terms up to 20 years. SRF loans may be at even lower interest rates and/or include forgiveness of a portion of the principal.
SRF loans do not require any matching funds and can even serve as matching funds for various grant programs such as Mineral Royalty Grants and the Wyoming Water Development Commission.
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is for drinking water systems, including source, treatment plant, storage tank, and transmission and distribution line projects. Public entities using drinking water revolving loan monies must meet Capacity Development requirements.
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund is for sanitary sewer treatment and collection, storm water control, landfill water pollution control, and other water pollution control projects.

Revised State of Wyoming Capacity Development Strategy:
The Department of Environmental Quality has revised the State of Wyoming Capacity Development Strategy. The revisions add asset management to the existing considerations of technical, managerial, and financial capabilities; reorganize passages for clarity; clarify statements and questions throughout the associated worksheets; and correct formatting, numbering, and grammar errors.
Electronic copies of the strategy and accompanying worksheets are available below.
If you have any questions concerning this strategy revision, please contact Stan Miller, SRF Principal Engineer at 307-777-6371 or stanley.miller@wyo.gov.
The Capacity Development Program evaluates the technical, financial, and managerial resources, including asset management, of new or modified community and non-community, non-transient public water systems (PWS), existing systems that have an enforcement targeting tool (ETT) score of 11 or greater, systems triggered by the State’s priority system for technical, managerial, and financial (TMF) capacity, and discovered systems. A PWS that is able to demonstrate capacity development will have adequate resources to ensure their ongoing, successful operation, and continuing ability to provide safe drinking water to their customers.
Chapter 22 of the Wyoming Water Quality Rules includes the requirements for demonstrating Capacity Development. All community and non-transient, non-community PWS shall meet capacity development requirements before the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality can issue a construction permit or before the PWS can be considered eligible for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loans.
The Governor's Report on the Capacity Development Program (triennial report) provides a detailed description of the Capacity Development Program and explains how the State of Wyoming is assisting public water supplies with attaining and maintaining capacity development.
Which PWS Need to Demonstrate Capacity Development?
- New or modified community and non-community, non-transient public water systems;
- Existing systems that have an enforcement targeting tool score of 11 or greater;
- Systems triggered by the State’s priority system for technical, managerial, and financial (TMF) capacity;
- Discovered systems;
- All applicants for DWSRF loans.
Submit the completed Capacity Assessment Worksheets below to Stan Miller via the link on the “Electronic Documents Submittal” tab or to 200 W 17th St, Ste 200, Cheyenne, WY 82002.
