What type of projects do CWSRF Loans support?

The correct answer is that CWSRF Loans support clean water projects. The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) is a federal-state partnership program aimed at providing financial assistance to publicly-owned facilities and projects that improve or maintain water quality, primarily through the construction or renovation of wastewater treatment plants, stormwater management, and other infrastructure aimed at ensuring a clean water supply.

CWSRF loans are specifically designed to address critical clean water needs, thus facilitating a broad range of activities, such as building, upgrading, or replacing infrastructure that affects the quality of water, including Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) control projects and nonpoint source pollution controls.

Other options do not align with the purpose of the CWSRF. Long-term lease agreements, highway construction projects, and technology upgrades typically fall outside of the scope of CWSRF financing, focusing instead on areas such as transportation or general technological enhancements, which are not strictly related to the improvement of water quality and sanitation infrastructures.
