Household Sewer Treatment System Funding Available through WPCLF Program
The Harrison County General Health District is participating in the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) program with the Ohio EPA. The program provides financial assistance in the form of principal forgiveness subsidies to counties and local health districts so they can assist low to moderate income homeowners with repair or replacement of failing household sewage treatment systems along with connections to existing centralized sanitary sewer systems. The principal forgiveness subsidies neither require a repayment of principal nor any payment of interest. Funding is income based (please see table below) and cannot be used for commercial, rental, or vacation properties.
Homeowners whose incomes are at or below 100% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022 Poverty Guidelines could possibly receive 100% of the eligible repair/replacement cost for the household sewage treatment system, except for the Operation Permit which may cost up to $50.00.
Homeowners whose incomes are between 100% – 200% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022 Poverty Guidelines could possibly receive 85% of the eligible repair/replacement cost for the household sewage treatment system.
Homeowners whose incomes are between 200% – 300% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022 Poverty Guidelines could possibly receive 50% of the eligible repair/replacement costs for the household sewage treatment system.
