LOAN CLOSING

The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) announced today that it had closed a $428,000 20-year DWSRF loan with Villa Grande Domestic Water Improvement District. The loan carries a 1.522% interest rate and features $374,600 in Principal Forgiveness.

Project Description

The loan will fund the design and construction of a Low Waste Ion Exchange treatment process to remove nitrates from the water supply. A previous WIFA loan for $360,000, for the same project, required additional funding to reduce the nitrates below the Maximum Containment Level after nearly doubling since filing for the original loan in 2019.
