The general assembly finds that the proper construction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of modern and efficient sewer systems and wastewater treatment works are essential to protecting and improving the state's water quality; that protecting water quality is an issue of concern to the citizens of the state; that in addition to protecting and improving the state's water quality, adequate wastewater treatment works are essential to economic growth and development; that during the last several years the amount of federal grant money available to states and local governments for assistance in constructing and improving wastewater treatment works has sharply diminished and will likely continue to diminish; and that it is proper for the state to encourage local governments to undertake wastewater treatment projects through the establishment of a state mechanism to provide loans at the lowest reasonable rates.
