The Water Protection and Sustainability Program supports funding for Alternative Water Supply (AWS) projects. These potential projects are identified in each water management district's Regional Water Supply Plans, which are updated every five years.
The South Florida Water Management District provides guidelines for funding specific categories of AWS projects. Funding is based on the type of alternative water supply technology used, eligible construction costs and the amount of previous funding applied to a particular project.
The District Governing Board makes the final funding determination for all projects. Funding for projects will be applied annually, and projects can be funded in phases. However, no guarantee is made for year-to-year funding for particular projects. Funding may be limited annually depending on participation.
Applications must be complete and understandable to reviewers. Statements of work and deliverable schedules must be clear and in a form that can be conveniently attached to a District contract. Click on the following links for examples of required documents:
