Sub. for HB 2302, increased the amount of state funding for the State Water Plan Fund (SWPF). The State Water Plan Fund was created in 1989 to provide funding for projects, programs, and activities recommended in the Kansas Water Plan (KWP) to address the various water issues identified in the KWP.
In August of 2022, the Kansas Water Authority approved the updated Kansas Water Plan, which the Kansas Water Office had developed with input from federal, state, and local agencies, regional advisory committees, non-profit organizations and members of the public. During the following legislative session, Sen. Sub.
for HB 2302 became law. Its provisions included the creation of two new water-related grant funds: the Technical Assistance Grant Fund and the Water Projects Grant Fund. The two grant funds serve to help identified Kansas entities to obtain the up-front technical assistance and the on-the-ground actions needed to address various water quantity and quality needs.
The two funds are generally directed to supporting water-related infrastructure activities. The new law directs the Kansas Water Office (KWO) to administer these two grant programs, according to certain criteria and parameters. The 2026 Legislature passed HB 2462 which amends the eligibility criteria, scoring categories, and administration of the HB 2302 Grant Program.
The Kansas Water Office is currently working to implement these changes and will post information as soon as it is available. Please note this information does not reflect the changes enacted in HB 2462. This information remains posted for reference for current awardees.

On June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the ~$156,000 credit-processing fee for water systems serving 25,000 or fewer people — a near-$200,000 discount on access to an $11 billion pool of low-cost federal financing. The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.
Read articleWhile applicants chase fixed federal deadlines, USDA Rural Development keeps roughly $4.1 billion moving through programs with no deadline at all — Community Facilities, Water & Waste Disposal, and Business & Industry loans that accept applications year-round. But 2026 brought a quiet shake-up: REAP grants paused, RBDG's competitive window closed. Here is the map of what's open, what's frozen, and how rural organizations should work a rolling pipeline.
