33 Miss. Code. R. 16-III - Structure of the Mississippi DWSIRLF

The Mississippi DWSIRLF is structured to help it achieve the short-term and long-term goals of the specific program's outcome as outlined by its IUP. Funds are broken down into designated accounts, each having a specific function.

A. SRF Awards

Monies in the awards include program administration, set-aside operations, and most importantly provide disbursements to public water systems for eligible projects. The DWSIRLF is a reimbursement program, meaning that after the award, eligible costs incurred are reimbursed to the recipient.
