The City of Havre received a $425,000 Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant (ECWAG) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (CFDA 10.763) on April 30, 2025, with a completion date of April 30, 2027. This project grant funds emergency water infrastructure improvements and assistance for the rural community of Havre, Montana, which has experienced or faces an imminent significant decline in water quantity or quality. The ECWAG program targets rural areas with populations of 10,000 or less and provides federal funding to support infrastructure repairs, system upgrades, and related measures necessary to ensure adequate supplies of potable water meeting federal standards during emergency situations such as droughts, natural disasters, or infrastructure failures.

The specific products and services delivered through this award support the City of Havre's efforts to maintain and restore adequate water infrastructure and distribution services to its residents. While the precise scope of work is not detailed in the provided materials, typical ECWAG-funded projects involve water system repairs and improvements, emergency water distribution services, or system upgrades designed to address critical water supply deficiencies in the community.
