Structures

Three ways to finance

Bridge financing.

Short-term notes fund construction and are repaid when the USDA, SRF, or WIFIA loan closes.

Revenue bonds.

Long-term, fixed-rate financing repaid from utility rates, placed privately or offered publicly.

Pooled financing.

Smaller agencies can issue together to share costs, with no cross-liability.

For Your Agency

Why agencies use it

  • No general fund pledge. Repayment comes from utility revenues.
  • Every financing is competed among banks, institutional investors, or underwriters.
  • Free membership, with no obligation to finance.
