Fed FUNDS for Water and Wastewater Utilities

Sample Water and Wastewater Damage Assessment, Photolog, Emergency Repair, and Mutual Assistance Forms

Use these sample damage assessment, photolog, emergency repair, and mutual assistance forms to record damage to your utility. Provide blank forms to field crews assessing damage. Upon completion, you can use the forms to prioritize repairs.

These forms are not required for any of the funding programs. They are provided to help you document your damages sufficiently. This will further your probability of reimbursement or funding success.
