Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities — CFDA 10.760

Rural water-and-waste dollars on 936 awards

Assistance listing 10.760 is titled WATER AND WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $922,562,039.02. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $922.6M as pipe already in the ground mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

936 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count next to a still-large sum. Dividing $922,562,039.02 by 936 produces a mean near $986,000 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical utility project bid and not a cost per connection. Rural water and waste dollars often sit on many community-level assistance actions, which is why 936 records can coexist with $922.6M.

523 recipients across 51 states

CFDA 10.760 lists 523 recipients and 51 states against 936 awards. Recipient count is not unique households. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A rural water district can appear on more than one award; 523 is not a census of treatment plants. The 51-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every well or lagoon.

936 awards against 523 recipients averages about 1.8 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 936 tally without moving $922,562,039.02 much. The 10.760 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus utility-construction outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $922,562,039.02 figure for CFDA 10.760 can include multi-year construction and loan commitments that will disburse later. A Safe Drinking Water Act compliance table, a ratepayer bill, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 10.760 program page. Do not stretch 936 awards or 523 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches rural water or wastewater.

What the 10.760 tables omit

The rural water and waste hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a water-quality sample file, not a connection census, and not a loan-versus-grant split. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $922,562,039.02. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 936 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 51 states is a coding field. A district coded to one cell can dominate geography while lines cross county boundaries. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 10.760

A complete citation is $922,562,039.02 in obligations for CFDA 10.760, covering 936 awards, 523 recipients, and 51 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

Start with the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is an engineering specification.

A worked reading of the 10.760 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $922,562,039.02, 936 awards, 523 recipients, and 51 states under CFDA 10.760. The mean near $986,000 is a quotient from a high award count, not a typical utility contract. If a later USAspending.gov file adds many small community actions, 936 can rise while dollars barely move. If a few giant commitments post, $922.6M can jump without a matching jump in 523 recipients.

Nothing in the extract splits drinking water from wastewater, or loans from grants. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 10.760 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 936 awards next to the dollars so volume is not inferred from the sum.
