RCAP is a service-delivery network whose programs help communities that are seeking to build, maintain or expand their water and wastewater infrastructure. We provide:
- on-site technical assistance
- training in the financial, managerial and operational areas of water and wastewater systems
- educational resources
- financial resources
Every year, more than 150 RCAP specialists based in RCAP's six regions provide assistance to more than 2,000 communities in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Most of the communities we assist are economically disadvantaged and have populations under 2,500, and many have significant minority populations.
