  • DWSRF Class Deviation for Water Rights [Deviation from 40 CFR §35.3520(e)(2)] (PDF)(8 pp, 532 K, November 2019)
    EPA's deviation allows DWSRF funding to be used for purchasing rights or access to new sources of drinking water under certain circumstances. This change will allow public water systems to switch water sources in the event of contamination or to obtain rights or access to new water sources in the event of drought or other hydrological changes to meet current water needs.
