County-wide and Regional Funding Programs

The State Water Board’s County-wide and Regional Funding Program provides state funding under the SAFER Program to counties, nonprofits, and tribes to develop and implement proactive and emergency-response programs addressing drought and contamination impacts on state small water systems and domestic wells serving DACs and low-income households. Eligible activities include outreach, testing, bottled water distribution, interim solutions, well repair/replacement, and regional consolidations. Applications are accepted continuously through the FAAST system.
