Each year, Oregon must submit an Intended Use Plan (IUP) to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval (see
EPA DWSRF Interim Final Rule, 40 CFR Part 35.3555(a) &(b)). The IUP demonstrates how Oregon intends to use DWSRF program funds for that year and explains how low-interest loan and grant assistance to eligible water systems is prioritized throughout the state of Oregon. Once EPA has reviewed and approved the IUP, the federal funds may then begin to be released.
Public comment on the IUP will typically be open one time during the year. During those open comments periods, the document will be posted here for public viewing. To view the IUP, please see below. If you have questions, email Oregon Health Authority's Drinking Water Service at dws.srf@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
Documents in other languages, large print, braille, or other alternative formats can be requested by contacting OHA at 971-673-0405 or email

Public comment period for the 2023 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - Lead Service Line Replacement) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund IUP closed on August 2024. Current information collected from statewide inventories indicates that there is no lead service lines in the state. As a result, public water systems have not expressed interest in this funding opportunity and the DWSRF program has declined federal fiscal year funding for 2024 and 2025. Please email questions to
dws.srf@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
