Interconnect receives ARRA (Stimulus) Funding – May 2009

ROMP Plant Interconnect

RWRD was among the first water sector agencies in the State of Arizona to receive funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. RWRD received $10 million from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA), which includes $8 million in low-interest rate loans and an additional $2 million in ARRA principal forgiveness funds. Principal forgiveness funds do not have to be repaid. The ARRA and WIFA funding saved Pima County residents nearly $3.4 million in construction costs for the Plant Interconnect Project which is the first project in the state-mandated Regional Optimization Master Plan (ROMP). The project was scheduled to be completed in December 2010 and became operational in April 2011. The Plant Interconnect Project came in $8 million dollars under budget and 8 months ahead of schedule.
