median strips) scrubbers on power plants that provide energy to POTWs. Methane capture Publicly owned equipment for the capture of methane emitted from an anaerobic municipal wastewater treatment system and conversion to energy is eligible for CWSRF funding. Methane capture equipment can be privately owned if the project is located within a designated National Estuary. Public or privately owned equipment to capture methane emitted from manure-containing ponds on animal feeding operations (AFOs), not regulated as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), and convert the methane to energy is eligible for CWSRF funding. This equipment can be located at CAFOs in designated National Estuaries. Water conservation and reuse Eligible water conservation and reuse projects include: Efficient plumbing fixture retrofits or replacement Grey water recycling in public buildings Efficient landscape irrigation equipment for public facilities Publicly owned stormwater treatment and reuse Publicly owned wastewater distribution lines to support effluent reuse/recycling uses, including piping the effluent to the property line of a privately owned effluent consumer, as well as publicly owned equipment to reuse effluent Water quality trading for construction projects that generate water pollution control credits or capital projects that may be located offsite the POTW Replacing inefficient irrigation practices with efficient drip irrigation. Public-private partnerships Public-private partnerships, or "P3s", are one investment technique by which municipalities can finance the upgrade, expansion, repair, or implementation of new technology for wastewater infrastructure. The CWSRF, because of its unique financing authorities, is authorized to oversee (in concert with the EPA's Assistant Administrator for Water), provide technical assistance, and guidance for municipalities that choose to investigate P3s for the provision of their wastewater services. A P3, as defined by the Environmental Financial Advisory Board, is a contractual, institutional, or other relationship between government and a private sector entity that results in sharing of duties, risks, and rewards of providing a service in which the government has an interest, recognizing that the government retains ultimate responsibility for insuring that social needs and objectives are met. P3s are sought by states and local governments as a way to reduce the financial burden of water pollution and infrastructure needs. It has been estimated that, of the costly capital improvements, upgrades, expansions, and new compliance requirements imposed on water and wastewater utilities, local governments bear 95% of the costs. Among local government expenditures, only education is higher. Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Congress passed the Water Infrastructure Finance and
