Financing Alternatives Comparison Tool
Financing Alternatives Comparison Tool
The Financing Alternatives Comparison Tool (FACT) is a financial analysis tool that helps identify the most cost-effective method to fund a wastewater or drinking water management project. This tool produces a comprehensive analysis that compares various financing options for these projects by incorporating financing, regulatory, and other important costs.
FACT creates a variety of useful reports to effectively communicate the results of a comprehensive analysis. A summary report is provided, which compares various financing options using key financial figures. This tool can also create graphical comparisons of annual and total costs of various financing options over time. FACT will aid municipalities, utilities, and environmental organizations in selecting the best financing option to fund their water quality and drinking water projects.
FACT has been updated to version 3.1 and now includes a new streamlined analysis option: FACT-Lite. FACT-Lite greatly reduces the amount of information users must enter to compare possible financing options for various water quality projects. A comprehensive user guide has also been developed and is automatically available as part the installation of FACT. Once FACT is installed, the user guide may be accessed by selecting the “Help and Definitions” button that is located in the top right corner of the homepage. A copy of the FACT user guide may also be downloaded separately.
