The proposed rule changes in Subchapters 6 and 8 are intended to encourage communities to adopt a more forward-thinking and proactive approach to long-term planning and financial sustainability when addressing water and wastewater infrastructure issues. These changes aim to support communities in aligning with the eligibility criteria required to access State Revolving Fund (SRF) financing in the future. While grant funding has historically been a key resource, it is not guaranteed to remain available indefinitely. As such, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) staff is committed to assisting communities in building the capacity to maintain and operate their water and wastewater systems without incurring unsustainable financial deficits. By implementing these rule changes, the goal is to foster resilience, improve access to critical funding mechanisms, and promote responsible fiscal and infrastructure planning at the local level. The amendments to Subchapter 20 are intended to clarify the purpose of the program and its funding mechanism.
