Story

King County has announced the next opening of the WaterWorks Grant Program. The cycle, which provides nearly $2 million in grant opportunities every two years, will begin accepting applications on January 4, 2019.

WaterWorks grants provide funding for projects that improve water quality in the services area for King County’s regional wastewater system. The grant program complements the water quality mission of the Wastewater Treatment Division. Non-profits, schools and educational institutions, cities, counties, tribes, and special purpose districts are eligible to apply, and partnerships are encouraged.

“The Water Quality grants are a great example of communities working with government in meeting a need,” said Metropolitan King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer. “These grants encourage the protection of some of our greatest natural treasures including the Puget Sound, our rivers and creeks and our many local wetlands.”
