SFWMD holding seminars on water grants available large water users
| Program provides grants for projects that save millions of gallons of water each year |
| WHAT: |
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) will host a series of seminars to provide information on funding assistance for water conservation projects through the Water Savings Incentive Program (WaterSIP). The seminars will include a general overview of the water conservation program and a review of critical dates for the application process.
Created in 2002, WaterSIP provides matching grants up to $50,000 to water providers and large users for installing water-saving technology. Qualifying WaterSIP projects include high-efficiency irrigation equipment, low-flow indoor plumbing retrofits and soil moisture and rain sensors. For Fiscal Year 2010, the SFWMD Governing Board approved nearly $460,000 in WaterSIP funding for 13 water conservation projects throughout South Florida. The projects will save an estimated 238 million gallons of water per year. For more information about the Water Savings Incentive Program, please visit www.sfwmd.gov/watersip. |
