Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, in partnership with Illinois’ Kane County, is offering a unique grant opportunity for communities to improve water use efficiency. Kane County communities can now apply for support through the new Water Conservation Technical Assistance Program.

This program was created to support communities and water suppliers in Kane County to take proactive steps toward water efficiency practices. The program encourages a wide range of projects—from developing comprehensive water conservation plans to exploring service-sharing initiatives. Communities should align their project proposals with specific local needs.

The 3−5 communities selected for the Water Conservation Technical Assistance Program will be provided:

  • Expert technical guidance and resources to implement water-efficient practices.
  • The freedom to propose projects that best suit the community’s unique requirements.
  • The opportunity to collaborate with like-minded communities and organizations dedicated to water conservation.

Projects will be selected in 2023 and will be implemented through 2024−25. No match is required, though a commitment statement of staff time and effort is recommended.

To apply or to find more information, visit the assistance program webpage. Communities and water suppliers are encouraged to submit applications by November 9, 2023 to ensure consideration.
