Water Meter and Equipment Leasing

NRWA and CoBank have teamed up to offer leasing to rural water systems.

Leasing gives you full control of how you manage your shorter term assets — on everything from equipment to water meters. You have the freedom to work with your preferred vendor — getting exactly what you want at the best price — with 100% financing. When the lease comes to an end, you have the option to return, replace or own the assets.
