Description

The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) is requesting grant proposals for its Water and Wastewater Program which provides funding for pressing water and wastewater needs in the insular areas. Highest priority will be given to proposals that:• aid a territory in complying with consent decrees;• provide technical assistance not currently available to the territorial government;• exhibit immediate need; and • can expend the funds within 24 months.Examples of previously funded projects include water and wastewater master planning, force main repairs, pump station flood-proofing, and the hiring of qualified and experienced individuals to oversee local water and wastewater programs. Generally, Water and Wastewater grants are not meant to supplant local funding of routine operating expenses of an insular government or organization.
