Description
This program provides financial support to Missouri communities for the improvement, expansion, or upgrade of publicly owned drinking water and wastewater systems. Administered in partnership with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and USDA Rural Development, the grant helps close financing gaps for essential water infrastructure projects. The Missouri Water and Wastewater Review Committee (MWWRC) assesses project needs and coordinates funding structures among participating agencies. Projects must primarily benefit low-to-moderate income residents and demonstrate sustainable system operation and maintenance.
