Capacity
Development is a program to help drinking water systems improve their
finances, management, infrastructure, and operations so they can
provide safe drinking water consistently, reliably, and
cost-effectively. More specifically, the Federal Safe Drinking Water
Act (SDWA) capacity development provisions establish a flexible
framework for the WV Bureau of Public Health (WVBPH) and water systems
to work together to ensure the systems acquire and maintain the
technical, financial, and managerial resources necessary to
consistently achieve the health objectives of the 1996 SDWA.
The Capacity
Development Program is implementing the WV
Capacity Development Strategy completed on August 4, 2000. As
part of the CDP, the Bureau for Public Health is required, under Section
1420(c)(3) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), to report the status of
our CDP to the Governor by September 30, 2002 and every three years
thereafter.
The
Report to the Governor on the West Virginia Drinking Water System Capacity
Development Program provides an overview of activities completed,
currently underway or planned by our CDP.
Drinking
Water Treatment Revolving Fund - The fund capitalized by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency provides loans
for the funding of drinking water infrastructure projects needed
to achieve and maintain compliance with the federal Safe Drinking
Water Act and the state's Public Water Systems Regulations.
The Intended Use Plan prepared each year details the intended use of funding
available. The current and past years Intended Use Plans are available for public viewing
here.
The
program is coordinated with other funding under the auspices of the
West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council.
Plan Review and
Permitting - The division reviews all proposed plans and
specifications for public water supplies, public swimming pools, animal
and fish waste disposal facilities, and waste water systems to assure that
proposed projects are designed in accordance with design standards and
will perform as needed to provide adequate public health protection and
service. Approximately 500 technical reviews are performed each year with
about 275 approvals issued.
