Accepting Applications for Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) activities from January 22 to March 12, 2026 . The Drinking Water Source Protection Fund (DWSPF) is designed for the protection of drinking water sources.
Drinking water sources include watersheds above a public water supply surface water intake and/or the delineated portion of the aquifer supplying water to public water supply wells or springs.
States may provide assistance, in the form of a loan (up to a maximum of $100,000) for certain source water assessment (SWA) implementation activities, including drinking water source protection (DWSP) land acquisition and other types of incentive-based source water quality protection measures.
States may also provide direct assistance in the form of a grant (up to $70,000 per eligible system) or technical support for drinking water source area delineation, potential contaminant source inventory and risk assessment, development of DWSP plans, and implementation of protection strategies.
Examples of eligible activities include the development of local DWSP ordinances, implementation of pollution prevention strategies, and development of public education programs highlighting the importance of drinking water source protection. For 2026, eligible public water systems may apply for land acquisition (conservation) planning grants (up to a maximum of $70,000).
Land acquisition for conservation purposes refers to the preservation of land to protect, restore, or enhance sources of drinking water serving eligible public water systems. Conservation planning projects can include any studies or activities that involve or are related to assessing legal and/or financial feasibility of purchasing land, easements, etc. within an identified drinking water source area.
In addition, the Agencies are piloting a grant offering for Regional Source Water Collaborative projects (up to a maximum of $175,000 per project). Regional Source Water Collaborative grants are intended to support projects that reduce risks and foster regional coordination among public water systems using groundwater and surface water sources.
Eligible projects will include a larger water system or group of larger water systems working with smaller water systems that are located within the larger systems’ drinking water source area. Publicly and privately owned community and nonprofit non-community water systems are eligible to apply for DWSPF funding. Water systems must have a completed SWA to be eligible.

Eligible projects remain on the funding list for two years.
If after one year the project remains unfunded, it is removed from the list unless the water system submits an updated Application. Business Oregon manages funded DWSP projects. Recommended projects on the PPL will be contacted by Business Oregon prior to receiving grant and loan funds.

The FY2026 Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development Grant (EPA-OW-OWM-26-03) closes October 5, 2026 with $10.8 million, up to 15 cooperative agreements, and a Project Area 1 ceiling of $7.8 million. One maximum award would consume 72 percent of the pool.
