Water

For rural communities to thrive, water and waste disposal must be acknowledged as a top priority. CoBank recognizes and knows the critical nature of implementing timely water and waste disposal facility projects. 

We know the importance of providing access to safe, clean drinking water and environmentally sensitive waste disposal all across America. We know it’s more than giving customers a great interest rate. It’s about staying on top of emerging trends. It’s streamlining the financing process with more efficiency and far less paperwork. It’s planning to upgrade aging systems and make repairs as needed.

Not-for-profits, municipalities and districts are among the many water and waste disposal borrowers who typically put funds toward projects such as these:

  • Create, improve and expand the supply of safe drinking water and waste disposal
  • Start a new construction project or expand an existing one
  • Upgrade equipment or perform needed maintenance
  • Purchase vehicles
  • Drill wells or replace pipelines
  • Repaint water towers
  • Reserve for emergency purposes

With our financing expertise in rural infrastructure and agriculture, we are more than equipped to handle your funding needs. We can put our water and waste disposal industry resources to good use as you navigate through major projects in good times and bad.
