Registered to receive federal awards since October 2015, the District has been awarded multiple Project Grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service. These grants are aimed at supporting infrastructure improvements and ensuring reliable access to clean water and proper waste management for residents and businesses in persistent poverty regions.

Recent awards include a $597,000 grant in February 2024 for a combination water and waste disposal project, a $895,000 grant in July 2021 specifically for waste disposal services, and another grant in July 2020 for similar purposes. These multi-year projects, typically spanning 2-3 years, allow the District to implement comprehensive improvements to its water and waste management systems. The grants aim to ensure reasonable user costs for these essential services in financially needy rural areas. By consistently securing funding through this program, White Oak Public Service District demonstrates its ongoing commitment to enhancing and maintaining critical infrastructure for the benefit of its rural community members.
