The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) announces the availability of funding to support Source Water Protection (SWP) competitive grants for community and nontransient noncommunity PWS. SWP activities that are funded under this grant program must focus on managing or eliminating one or more potential sources of contamination that MDH has determined presents a risk to the PWS. Community PWS serve at least 25 year-round residents or have at least 15 service connections that are used by year-round residents (e.g., a municipality, rural water supply system, subdivision, or mobile home park). Nontransient noncommunity PWS serve at least 25 of the same persons over six months per year (e.g., school, factory, industrial park, or office building). The funding for SWP competitive grants is provided under Minnesota Session Laws 2025, Regular Session, chapter 36.
