SRF Intended Use Plans

The State Revolving Fund (SRF) is a joint federal-state financing program that provides subsidized loans and grants to improve or protect water quality and infrastructure systems in the Commonwealth. The federal Water Pollution Control and Safe Drinking Water Acts require Massachusetts to annually prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs.

MassDEP is pleased to present the Draft 2026 IUP for the CWSRF and DWSRF programs.  The Draft IUPs detail the intended use of SRF funds and include a list of proposed projects to be offered financial support in the upcoming year.  Proposed projects were selected based on MassDEP’s established rating system that evaluates and ranks project proposals based upon the severity of the public health or environmental problem that is being addressed and the effectiveness of the proposed solution.  The State will issue the Final 2026 IUPs after a 30-day public review and comment period.

The SRF was established in 1989 to finance projects that improve water quality, protect public health, and address environmental challenges.  The program is managed jointly by MassDEP and the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (Trust).  MassDEP oversees program administration, while the Trust manages the financing and fiscal administration.
