Kansas Water Office Grant Applications Open July 8, 2024
In 2023, HB 2302 Grant Programs were introduced through the Kansas Water Office (KWO) offering two funds: the Technical Assistance Grant Fund and the Water Project Grant Fund. These funds are available to assist Kansas communities with addressing their water and wastewater infrastructure issues. The FY 2025 applications will open on July 8, 2024 and close on September 6, 2024. Technical Assistance Grant Funds can be used for planning, engineering, managing and other technical assistance needed in the development of plans for water infrastructure projects or for processing grant and loan applications for projects. Water Projects Grant Funds can be used in construction, repair, maintenance or replacement of water related infrastructures and any related construction costs. It can also be used as matching money for grant and loan applications for water related projects. Funds may also be used to pay outstanding loan balance from the Public Water Supply Loan Fund or the Kansas Pollution Control Fund. The Water Office is using a new application portal to oversee applications so all projects will require a new application.  READ MORE.
