Value
Grant: Up to 50% of eligible costs to a maximum of $175,000.Description
We fund feasibility studies of retrofit initiatives that have the potential to reduce potable water use by at least 20% in a neighbourhood, facility or group of facilities. This funding helps Canadian cities and communities of all sizes promote water conservation.
Eligible Applicants
All Canadian municipal governments; Municipal partners applying in partnership with a municipal government.
Eligible Expenses
This funding is for retrofit initiatives only. Your study may compare several options or assess one option’s ability to reduce potable water use by at least 20% in a neighbourhood, facility or group of facilities. We do not fund studies about the purchase, installation, replacement or repair of water mains as a stand-alone initiative. We will fund studies of those activities if they are part of a broader, more innovative initiative.
Your feasibility study should assess the feasibility (e.g., technical, financial) of an initiative as well as its potential environmental, economic and social impacts.
Examples of what you might study:
- Grey water systems
- Rainwater collection and reuse1-877-417-0550
