MR&I Water Supply Assistance Grant Program Guidelines Updated
The Garrison Diversion Conservancy District’s (Garrison Diversion) MR&I Water Supply Assistance Grant Program provides funding assistance to offset the costs of new customer hookups to a rural water system or district within Garrison Diversion’s member counties. The Water Supply Assistance Grant Program is also in place to aid municipal water systems or districts with extraordinary OM&R projects that will impact the delivery of water to users, introduce health and safety issues, or bring potential harm to other infrastructure if not repaired.
As the Water Supply Assistance Grant Program is new, Garrison Diversion’s MR&I Committee continues to refine the program guidelines to better accommodate needs of the users. The program guidelines have been updated and application deadlines are now
May 1 and
August 1.
Assistance for new customer hookups has also been adjusted and now sits at a 50% cost share for costs exceeding $2,500, with a maximum reimbursement of $10,000 per customer hookup.
“Assisting with water supplies within our district is an important and fulfilling endeavor,” says Geneva Kaiser, Chairperson of the MR&I Committee. “We know there’s been a need for a similar program, and we’re excited to be able to benefit water users throughout our district.”
