The Oregon Water Resources Department recently announced that the Department has $1.6 million available for funding under the Water Conservation, Reuse and Storage Grant Program. Under the Program, OWRD will match up to $500,000 in funding from another source for each project. The intent of the Program is to encourage feasibility studies and environmental analysis to investigate “innovative water conservation and reuse programs and environmentally sound storage projects.” Applications are due September 1, 2008, and to be eligible applicants must have funding from a source other than the Program secured or in the process of being secured. The Oregon Legislature established the Program in SB 1069 during the 2008 Session.
