NewsroomSmall Town Water and Sewer Infrastructure Assistance Grant Program

• Blog

The Small Town Water and Sewer Infrastructure Assistance Grant Program is a limited time grant program administered by KDHE to fund water and sewer infrastructure projects for water and wastewater utilities serving populations less than 1,000 that would resolve a health or regulatory compliance issue.  There is no maximum grant amount but depending on the number of eligible projects submitted for consideration, KDHE may cap the size of a single grant award.  If the project is for a utility population of 500 people or less, there is no match requirement. However, a 10% match is required for populations of 501 to 750, and a 20% match is required for populations of 751 to 999.  If the project is more expensive than available grant funds, the utility will have to use additional funding sources to complete the project.

Small Town Water And Sewer Infrastructure Assistance Grant Program Eligibility

In order for a municipality (cities, counties, and other political subdivisions of the state such as rural water districts and sewer districts) to be eligible for a grant from the Small Town Water and Sewer Infrastructure Grant Program, it must have a population of less than 1,000 and experiencing a health or regulatory compliance issue that an infrastructure project would resolve.
