“The 2020 Wastewater and Drinking Water Treatment Financial Assistance Program (WTFAP) application is now available. 

Grants will be awarded to water and wastewater projects based on the following priorities: 

• Disadvantaged communities
• Projects that will significantly improve water quality in their watershed
• Projects that use alternative wastewater treatment technologies (all projects proposing alternative technologies must be approved by DNR)
• Communities with the highest sewer or water rates
• Projects that use technology to address nutrient reduction
• Projects that will improve source waters for drinking water utilities.”

 There is approximately $2 million available in this program, which is a part of the Senate File 512 legislation.  It is not related to the State Revolving Loan Fund projects.

The application (accessed via the black button mid-page) is due by September 25_th.

The grant awardees are determined by a committee consisting of the Secretary of Agriculture (or designee), the Executive Director of the IFA (or designee), and the Director of the DNR (or designee).
