WWD alaskan villages grants - waste disposal

This $375,000 Project Grant was awarded on Sep 27, 2023 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the CFDA 10.760 Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program. The grant funds will support infrastructure projects to develop, upgrade, or repair drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure serving rural Alaskan communities. The grant recipient, the Environmental Conservation Alaska Department, will likely sub-award portions of the funding to local governments, tribal organizations, and health corporations to implement the water and waste disposal projects across rural Alaska. This grant continues the Rural Utilities Service's efforts to ensure reasonable user costs and enhance the quality and reliability of essential water and waste services for financially needy rural areas.
