Board Mission

"The Washington State Public Works Board is committed to assisting Washington's local governments and private water systems in meeting their public works needs."

The Public Works Board was created by the State Legislature in 1985, with the purpose of administering the Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF).  The Board consists of thirteen members with the Board Chair being appointed by the Governor.

The purpose of the PWTF and the Board is to provide financial assistance to local government and private water systems for critical public works projects and to encourage self-reliance at the local level.

The Board administers two major funding sources:

• The Public Works Assistance Account, which funds all Public Works Trust Fund programs
• Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, which funds all Drinking Water State Revovling Fund loans.
