Domestic water grants - regular

The City of Linn Grove received a $319,000 Project Grant award on June 17, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). This grant supports critical water infrastructure development and improvement initiatives serving the rural community of Linn Grove, Iowa. The funding is directed toward essential water management projects, which may include drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, and related infrastructure improvements designed to ensure reasonable utility costs for rural residents and enhance service quality and reliability in this financially constrained rural community.

This award represents continued federal investment in Linn Grove's water infrastructure resilience, building on the municipality's demonstrated capacity to successfully manage federal grants. The RUS program prioritizes funding for truly rural areas facing health, sanitary, and economic challenges, with selection criteria emphasizing population characteristics, low-income unemployment rates, and infrastructure deficiencies. Grant recipients are required to comply with federal audit and record-keeping requirements under 2 CFR 200 and maintain documentation ensuring funds are applied exclusively to authorized project purposes.
