• Noncommunity Transient Grant for transient noncommunity public water supply systems.

The purpose of the Plan Implementation Grant is to help public water suppliers implement source water protection measures included in their MDH approved or endorsed plan. These grants do not require a cost share. The minimum grant amount is $1,000 and the maximum grant amount is $10,000.
