AWWA, NACWA and WEF developed recommendations for the EPA on a new methodology and guideline for assessing household affordability and community financial capability to replace its current guidance document: Combined Sewer Overflows – Guidance for Financial Capability Assessment and Schedule Development (EPA, 1997). This effort was prepared in anticipation of the EPA updating its financial capability assessment (FCA) guidelines after the 2017 National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) Developing a New Framework for Community Affordability of Clean Water Services (NAPA Report).
