§ 13824 Safe Drinking Water Grants

Key Takeaways

  • •The government will only give money to help with drinking water if the place really can't afford to make the water safe on their own.
  • •Before getting the money, the place must show a plan to fix the water problem and get a special permission slip from the health department.
  • •The health department has to say 'yes' to the plan and give a permit before any money is given.

Example

A small town's water has too much bad stuff in it, and they don't have enough money to clean it up.

The town can ask the government for money to fix the water, but only if they prove they can't do it alone. They also need to show a plan to fix it and get a permit from the health department first.
