The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Rural Development (RD) offers grants to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and tribal governments to improve disaster preparedness and recovery. The program is intended to make enhancements that ensure access to safe drinking water in the event of a natural disaster.
The program helps eligible communities prepare for or recover from an emergency that threatens the availability of safe, reliable drinking water.
The following events qualify as an emergency:
Water transmission line grants will be used to construct waterline extensions, repair breaks or leaks in existing lines, and address related maintenance necessary to replenish the water supply.
Water source grants will be used to construct a water source, intake, or treatment facility.
The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
