About the Pipeline

If all utilities needed to do was ask for money, it would be hard enough with applications and associated documentation. But, there are many more obstacles that can be put in your path. To combat this, we’ve developed an interactive decision pipeline to help guide you through the process of obtaining funding for your water or wastewater utility, from start to finish.

    How to Use the Funding Pipeline:

    1. In the graphic below, follow the pipeline from START HERE, encountering boxes with Yes/No questions and tasks marked with an exclamation point along the way.
    2. Answer the questions for your water/wastewater utility, and follow the pipe corresponding to your answer.
      NOTE: Some tasks lead you further along the pipeline; others divert you to blue alternatives to funding applications that may meet your needs quicker or more easily.
    3. Click on each question box to explore resources that will help you answer the question. Once finished, return to this page and continue down the pipeline. 
    4. Complete tasks denoted with exclamation marks before proceeding along the pipeline.
    5. Explore further resources sorted by topic below the pipeline.
