SPECIAL NOTICES

Applications for Small Water Systems Regionalization Grant Program

   The Department of Environmental Protection's Technical Assistance Center for Small Water Systems is accepting applications under the Small Water Systems Regionalization Grant Program. This grant program provides grants to eligible applicants to assess the feasibility of the formation of a regionalized water system. The proposed regionalized water system must involve at least one small water system (a system serving 3,300 people or fewer).

   Eligible applicants include any community water supplier, county, township, borough or authority to which a small water system has issued a letter of intent to develop a water system regionalization study.

   Grant awards are limited to 75% of all approved project costs related to the water system regionalization study or $75,000, whichever is less. The grantee must provide local share in the form of matching funds or in-kind services at a minimum of 25% of the total project costs.

   The application period runs from May 1 to July 31, 1997. Based on the availability of funding, applicants that submit a final work plan and budget which are approved by DEP will be given preference to receive a grant based on a first-come, first-served basis.
