Urban Water Quality Grant Program

Since 2005, Dane County has made cost-sharing funds available to municipalities for a program to improve old storm drain outlets that dump untreated stormwater and litter into Dane County lakes, rivers, and streams. The County funds are to be matched with municipal matching expenditures. The 2008 budget provides $150,000 for this program, which is now included in the County Land and Water Legacy initiatives.

Details of the 2008 program can be found in the Urban Water Grant document. The initial deadline for project submittals is April 1, 2008; thereafter grant requests may still be submitted and awarded until all cost-sharing funds have been committed.
