WWD technical assistance & training grants

The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) was awarded a $10 million Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Technical Assistance and Training Grants program (CFDA 10.761) to provide technical assistance and training services. The grant period runs from June 30, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Under this award, the NRWA will identify and evaluate solutions to water and waste disposal problems in rural areas. It will assist grant applicants in preparing applications for funding under the USDA Rural Development Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program. The NRWA will also work to improve the operation and maintenance of existing water and waste disposal systems in rural communities. The services funded seek to ensure rural residents have access to clean and reliable drinking water and waste disposal.
