The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Engineering Report Grants, administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, provide financial support to small communities for the preparation of engineering reports or plans aimed at improving public drinking water systems. These grants help eligible communities hire professional engineers to assess current facilities, identify needs, evaluate options, and recommend practical, cost-effective improvements that comply with the Missouri Safe Drinking Water Law. The resulting engineering reports are critical for addressing compliance with new permit requirements and ensuring safe drinking water.
