Summary

A unique funding opportunity has emerged, offering vital support for drinking water and wastewater systems across Idaho. This initiative is designed for eligible entities, including public drinking water systems, schools, and small businesses, aiming to address critical environmental challenges. With a total funding pool of $500,000 allocated annually, this program seeks to remediate corrosive water and replace lead service lines or fixtures in at-risk communities, ensuring safer and healthier water quality for all residents.


In addition to lead exposure reduction, the program also provides emergency funding of $200,000 each for drinking water and wastewater systems to tackle urgent needs on a first-come, first-served basis. This accessibility allows applicants to promptly secure financial assistance to improve infrastructure and compliance with environmental standards.


Eligible applicants must own and occupy their homes or manage public facilities, and those with annual incomes below specific thresholds may qualify for grants or low-interest loans.


The funding can significantly impact local communities, enhancing public health and environmental sustainability while reducing lead exposure risks. Moreover, the initiative encourages collaboration, enabling wastewater systems to leverage loans for non-point source project funding, further amplifying the positive outcomes of this financial support.


To maximize the potential of these funds, interested parties are urged to engage promptly and discuss their specific needs with program officials. This funding opportunity represents a crucial step toward improving Idaho's water quality and safety, ultimately fostering healthier, more resilient communities across the state.


With the potential for substantial awards, applicants are encouraged to act swiftly to take advantage of this significant support.
