Priority is given to projects serving rural communities with populations of 10,000 or less and median household income not exceeding 100 percent of statewide nonmetropolitan household income, particularly those experiencing a significant decline in quantity of water available from private individually owned wells and those supporting established water systems or remedying acute water quality shortages.
