Proposition 84 Funding for Public Water Systems

Schedule

The current preapplication period began on July 1, 2008 and ends on September 2, 2008, as described on our funding opportunities for public water systems webpage.

If your preapplication is on a project priority list (PPL, see below), you do not need to resubmit your preapplication. If your preapplication was previously found to be ineligible, you will need to address its deficiencies prior to resubmitting it in a subsequent cycle.

Background
