Arizona's RWIC (Rural Water Infrastructure Committee) is composed of representatives from various infrastructure loan and grant programs, federal and state lending authorities, and technical assistance providers. It was revived in 2005 to assist small drinking water and wastewater systems navigate the federal, state and local financial and technical assistance programs. RWIC serves as a "One Stop" funding entity for communities and small water systems in need of assistance.
Our mission is to serve as a "One Stop" funding source and technical assistance resource for Arizona's rural communities seeking assistance with infrastructure projects. We seek to create a sustainable organization of funders and technical assistance providers who partner to continue to meet the needs of these various water and wastewater systems throughout Arizona.
