The amount of the award may be the minimum amount that the Authority determines is necessary to enable the project to proceed, and the Authority may investigate and recommend other sources of funds for all or part of a proposed project. Projects that the Authority determines are not financially feasible will not be funded.

A pledge of specific revenues of the municipality may be required by the Authority to be pledged in addition to the foregoing.

(5) For privately owned water system a loan must be secured at minimum by a pledge of a specifically identified revenue source such as the pledge of accounts receivable and proceeds therefrom. Additional loan security may be required based on the Authority's assessment of borrower risk.
