under section 446A.07, the authority may provide assistance under this section in the form
of a grant if the average annual residential wastewater system cost after completion of the
project would otherwise exceed 1.4 percent of the median household income of the project
service area. In determining whether the average annual residential wastewater system
cost would exceed 1.4 percent, the authority must consider the total costs associated with
building, operating, and maintaining the wastewater system, including existing wastewater
debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost, and operation and maintenance
costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are calculated based on the maximum
loan term permitted for the clean water revolving fund loan under section 446A.07,
subdivision 7. The amount of the grant is equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to
reduce the average annual residential wastewater system cost to 1.4 percent of median
household income in the project service area, to a maximum of deleted text begin $4,000,000deleted text end new text begin $5,000,000new text end per

the form of a grant if the average annual residential drinking water system cost after
completion of the project would otherwise exceed 1.2 percent of the median household
income of the project service area. In determining whether the average annual residential
drinking water system cost would exceed 1.2 percent, the authority must consider the total
costs associated with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system,
including existing drinking water debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost,
and operation and maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are
calculated based on the maximum loan term permitted for the drinking water revolving

is equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to reduce the average annual residential
drinking water system cost to 1.2 percent of median household income in the project
service area, to a maximum of $5,000,000 per project or $20,000 per existing connection,

associated with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system, including
debt service and operation and maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed
project must be calculated based on the maximum loan term permitted for the drinking
water revolving fund loan under this section. The amount of the principal forgiveness or
grant must be equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to reduce the average annual
residential drinking water system cost to 1.2 percent of median household income in the
