Please provide a brief narrative description of the proposed study or demonstration project including <br /> purpose,need,and service area. (Attach scope of study, if available) <br /> A key SWSI finding and recommendation involved the need for technical and financial assistance to rural <br /> areas that need water supplies. Typically,these areas are madeup—o rimarily of small non-profit water <br /> systems (NPWS's), such as homeowners associations,water user associations, or private non profit water <br /> companies that rely on domestic groundwater wells. Currently, a$25,000 study is underway to assess <br /> the magnitude and nature of the unfilled funding need or"gap" for NPWS's. <br /> The proposed study would extend the current phase of study to specifically address the following <br /> questions: <br /> 1. Strategy- If there is an unfilled need, should CWCB develop a specific marketing strategy for <br /> pursuing and facilitating more loans from NPWS's? <br /> 2. Criteria- If CWCB actively pursues more NPWS loans,what criteria, TMF assistance, grants, etc. <br /> are needed in order for CWCB to manage the additional risk to more marginal borrowers? <br /> 3. Recommendations - What recommendations/revisions to plans, policies and statutes are <br /> necessary? <br /> Grant Application—Severance Tax Trust Fund Operational Account-Fiscal Year 2007-2008 <br />
