Key county priorities within the proposal include full funding for the Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Program, funding for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), and a slight decrease in funding for the Water Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loans and loan guarantee programs.
