The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is offering the Household Water Well System Grant Program to qualified private non-profit organizations. This grant enables non-profits to establish revolving loan programs, providing low-interest loans to eligible homeowners or individuals for constructing or upgrading their private well systems. It is important to note that homeowners cannot directly receive these grants; they must borrow from the approved non-profit organizations. Recipient non-profits are required to contribute at least 10 percent of the grant funds in cash (in-kind contributions are not accepted) to capitalize the revolving loan fund, ensuring sustainable support for private well system improvements across rural areas.
