Non-community Water System: A public water system that serves the public but does not serve the same people year-round. A non-community water system is either transient or non-transient.
Transient – Does not regularly serve at least 25 of the same people for more than six months per year (e.g., rest area or campground with its water supply). Non-Transient – Regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months per year (e.g., a school or hospital with its water supply).
Systems ineligible for planning grants generally include wastewater systems that are privately owned, non-community drinking water systems that are for profit, systems that lack the financial capability to pay for the non-grant share of a planning project, or those that are delinquent in payment of fines or fee assessments due to DEQ. (IDAPA 58. 01.
12. 009 and IDAPA 58. 01.
22. 007). We contact eligible systems to apply for planning grants annually.
Interested systems must submit a letter of interest (LOI) for the following fiscal year between October and January. DEQ evaluates, rates, and ranks the LOIs for inclusion on the next annual priority list.
Rating criteria focus on potential public health and environmental risks, the extent to which the planning process will address the long-term viability of the system (i.e., sustainability), and the status of the system’s compliance with state and federal regulations. Rating forms and letters of interest can be found in the Resources section. The highest-rated projects are invited to submit a planning grant application.
The number of grants offered each year is limited to available funding. Systems selected to receive grants must hire a professional engineer to survey the system’s existing condition, develop and screen alternatives, recommend an alternative, and evaluate the potential environmental impacts. All grant recipients seeking State Revolving Fund financing require an environmental information document.
Developing and implementing mitigation measures may be required as the project moves into design and construction. Contact your DEQ regional office if interested in applying for a planning grant. Most systems find it in their best interest to have a consulting engineer assist them with completing the Letter of Interest.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
