The foundation of ODW\u2019s plan, and the processes to spend or obligate the $100 million in ARPA funding, is outlined in the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program Manual.\u00a0 ODW used the DWSRF manual and the Department of Treasury\u2019s requirements to identify and prioritize infrastructure projects as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small \u2013 communities with a service population less than 10,000 persons. Small communities do not usually have the economy of scale to ensure financial sustainability.\u00a0 Small communities are historically underserved, marginalized, or include adversely affected groups.<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantaged \u2013 communities in which the annual water bill exceeds 1% of the median household income on an annual basis.<\/li>\n<li>Abandoned \u2013 waterworks owners who have effectively stopped providing technical, managerial, and financial support for the waterworks. In these cases, ODW will look to consolidate these systems with larger nearby waterworks.<\/li>\n<li>Acute or Chronic Health Violations \u2013 these systems will have notices of violation issued or be under an Order to resolve health violations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Projects will focus on closing funding gaps and reaching universal levels of service.\u00a0 While ODW is using the DWSRF program manual as a baseline for process and procedures, ODW will waive certain unnecessary \u201cpaperwork\u201d requirements associated with ARPA funding where appropriate.\u00a0 ARPA funding has fewer restrictions as compared to DWSRF funding.<\/p>\n<h4>Department of Treasury Guidelines<\/h4>\n<p>The ARPA final rules can be found at the following Dept. of Treasury link:<br
