Welcome to the new Source Water Protection Grant Application process. Source Water Protection Grant Application(s) are used to apply for grants that provide financial assistance for projects or programs aimed at the protection, preservation, and enhancement of source drinking and ground water resources in the state.

The grant is designed to support local water protection programs, including planning, or implementing projects that protect public water supplies. The grant covers a broad range of projects, such as developing protection plans, improving wastewater management systems, providing funding for the purchase of conservation easements and safeguarding the quality and safety of drinking water supplies for communities.

This application is applicable for any municipal public water supply regardless of whether it is a ground water or surface water source. Perform the steps in this guide to ensure the Source Water Protection Grant Application is filled in correctly.
