(The <br />Construction Fund exists primarily to provide low interest loans for the construction or <br />rehabilitation of Raw Water Projects.

The applicant(s) must also show that they are financially unable to <br />repay a loan): <br />NWCCOG does not have taxing authority. Its funds are dues-based.

The financial sponsors, mentioned above, have already contributed <br />approximately $120,000 and the project received a $50,000 grant from Department of <br />Local Affairs.
