Planning & Design Loan Program Success Stories
![]() The low-interest rate offered by the State Revolving Fund (SRF) allows Hubbard to keep water rates as low as possible while repaying the loan. Comparing SRF to other financing options, I have been very pleased that we chose the SRF. I would recommend that other communitiies utilize Planning & Design Loans as well.

The Council Bluffs Water Works was able to move forward immediately with the development of a major new source of water supply and treatment plant that may not have been possible without an SRF Planning & Design Loan. This funding made it possible to fast-track our project without having to draw on our reserves. Douglas P. Drummey General Manager Council Bluffs Water Works |
The Planning & Design Loan we received gave us access to money to properly study and design a system that makes sense for our community. This is the first project we have done with IFA and they were great at explaining how the program works and with guiding us through the process.Tom Van Maanen City Administrator Rock Valley |
