Serving Rural Ohio Communities for 30 Years The Ohio Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP) provides free and low-cost services to help rural communities address their drinking water and wastewater treatment needs.   Each year, we serve over 100 communities in Ohio and leverage millions of dollars for water and sewer projects.  Our field agents assist communities with project development and capacity building.   Click here to review a full list of services. Ohio RCAP is part of the Great Lakes RCAP network, and receives funding from a number of federal programs as well as Ohio EPA and the Ohio Water Development Authority to provide technical assistance to communities under 10,000 population, including homeowner associations and mobile home parks.

WARN provides standardized Mutual Aid Agreements and a database of equipment, labor and other resources water and wastewater systems can utilize in the event of an emergency.  Participation is free, and RCAP along with AWWA strongly encourage all systems to join.  A big advantage to being a WARN member is that by signing the agreement and following the procedures, it sets the utility up for record keeping according to FEMA guidelines and has them in place should reimbursement occur. Also, WARN addresses the responsibility/liability issues for assistance. WARN is also voluntary program of utilities helping other utilities.
