State Wastewater and Drinking Water Reserve Programs | NC DEQ The State Wastewater Reserve and Drinking Water Reserve Programs provide grants and loans for planning, design and construction of critical water infrastructure.

The criteria is used for (1) determining eligibility for grant funding and (2) determining the percentage of the project that would be funded by grants. Affordability criteria guidance can be found on the Application Forms & Resources page of the Division's website.
Types of Funding Available Only available to the extent that other funding sources are not reasonably available to the applicant. Wastewater collection systems and treatment works Public water system projects The amount of grants for each system awarded for three consecutive fiscal years may not exceed $3 million.
