  4. Fundable Projects Wastewater Projects: • Treatment plants • Collection systems • Decentralized systems • Combined Sewer Overflow remedies • Infiltration/Inflow • Non-point source water pollution abatement Drinking Water Projects: • Treatment plants • Distribution • Storage • Supply facilities

  5. SRF Program Results SRF is one of the largest wastewater and drinking water infrastructure financing sources in Indiana. • 285 Wastewater loans closed • 112 Drinking Water loans closed • Over 260 communities served • Over $2.1 billion of loans closed • Over $1.8 billion disbursed to communities • Over past 3 years, $116M Interest Savings

  14. Is there a Funding Gap? • Projected 20-year Need ---- $10B • Est. Funding Provided last 3 yrs ---- $2B • Avg. Funding Provided last 3 yrs ---- $650M/yr • Projected Funding Available, next 20 years (650 * 20) ---- $13B _____ Possible Funding Gap <$3B>

  15. Current Utility Rates • WW 1 (347 Communities surveyed) • Range: $8 to $78 • Average: $18 to $31 • DW 1 (307 Communities surveyed) • Range: $3 to $60 • Average: $11 to $22 ____ 1 Umbaugh Comparative Rate Study – Feb. 2008

  21. SRF vs. Open Market • Estimated cost to prepare a PER required for SRF financing. • Open Market costs of issuance expense; e.g., Underwriter’s Discount, Bond Insurance, etc. This does not include additional costs associated with the preparation of an offering circular or public bidding.
