The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment offers protection-planning grants through its Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) program. The program’s main objective is to minimize potential contaminant threats to public drinking water supplies. These grants support public water systems and governmental entities in planning for the protection of those supplies.
Protection planning is the focus of this funding opportunity. The grant sits within the department’s broader source water protection work, which also includes support for Wildland Fire Decision Support System work and post-wildfire recovery efforts. Those activities are additional SWAP program support, rather than specified uses of the protection-planning grant.
