WISE Calculator

The WISE Calculator compares the cost for financing environmental infrastructure projects through an independent bond issuance versus the Water Bank. Information is entered into a short online questionnaire typically requiring less than five minutes to complete. Utilizing independent financial data and the borrower’s submitted information, the Calculator immediately generates a Cost Estimate report detailing annual cash flow projections and total estimated debt savings over the life of the loan.
