Description
The Drinking Water Infrastructure Capital Improvements Grant Program, administered by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), is designed to help small communities in Nevada address urgent drinking water infrastructure needs. The program funds capital projects that improve public water systems and ensure compliance with state and federal standards, including those set by the Bureau of Safe Drinking Water and the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Grant funds can be used for the construction or upgrade of treatment facilities, pipeline repairs, water storage enhancements, and related planning or administrative costs directly tied to approved projects. The goal is to bridge the gap between total project costs and what small communities can reasonably afford, supporting health, safety, and regulatory compliance.
