The Kansas Water Office opened applications for its two grant programs - the Technical Assistance Fund Grants and Water Projects Fund Grants.
The grants were made possible by increased funding to the State Water Plan Fund with Sen. Sub. for HB 2302, a bipartisan bill signed by Governor Kelly from the 2023 legislative session that increased funding for the State Water Plan Fund and established these two grant programs.
The Technical Assistance Fund Grants seek to provide funding for planning, engineering, managing and other technical assistance that may be necessary in the development of plans for water infrastructure projects, and processing grant and loan applications for such water infrastructure projects.
The Water Projects Fund Grants provide funding for construction, repair, maintenance or replacement of water-related infrastructures and any related construction costs, matching moneys for grant or loan applications for water-related infrastructure projects, and application of the funds to outstanding loan balances from certain funds.
Eligible applicants include municipalities and special districts related to water organized under the Laws of Kansas.
The applications are open through September 30. Contact our office if you need assistance with your application!
KWO has an opportunity if your community has water or wastewater needs. There is $7.5M available in the Technical Assistance category and $19.5M available in the Water Projects grant fund (competitive State-wide). No matching funds are required!
If your community has a KDHE water or sewer loan, and have been making payments on the loan for five years or more, you can apply for a portion of loan forgiveness! Please call our office if you have any questions 785-421-2151.
