Finance Programs

The Arkansas Rural Water Association has partnered with Rural Water Finance Agency to help our member utilities with their short-term and long-term financial needs. All costs are included in loan payments.

  • Interim Finance Program
    Loans for construction projects with USDA-RD long term financing takeouts.
  • Flexible Term Finance Program
    Loans for any eligible utility project with flexible terms (1 to 35 years), low interest rates, and a AA-rating (AAA with insurance).

Rural Water Finance Agency (RWFA) has offered low-cost financing to its members since 1995. With this partnership, ARWA can provide interim construction loans in conjunction with USDA Rural Development projects through our Interim Finance Program.
