It’s not news that the financial needs of cities, towns, and local water utilities to provide for their water services on a sustainable basis often far outstrips the available resources. WaterNow works with urban water agencies to address these needs and expand their options.

For smaller communities, we help navigate the array of state, federal, and other loan and grant opportunities. For utilities with more capacity, we’ve developed guides and resources for accessing capital markets to enable investments in multi-benefit, climate resilient solutions that are often more affordable for ratepayers in the long term.

Our resources include:

  • How-to guides for scaling up investments in distributed infrastructure
  • Regionally focused financing “dashboards”
  • Water Affordability Guide
  • Case studies of successful funding and financing projects
  • Curated resource library with the most relevant water financing, affordability and related reports
