APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING

Water Efficiency Grant Program

• The WID is currently accepting applications for reimbursement to producers of up to 40% (to a maximum of $4000) for the conversion of high pressure pivots to low pressure.
• Our program only covers sprinkler conversion packages, upgrades to control panels or complete new low pressure pivots.
• Applications are limited to one conversion per farming operation and must be for work done after December 1, 2017.
• Retroactive applications will not be considered.
• Contact the office for more information and application forms.

Each application must include:

• Completion of a Long-term Irrigation Management Plan.
• Invoices and receipts for all eligible costs claimed.
• All producers within the WID with a high-pressure pivot should have received an information package in the mail and follow-up communication from the district.
• If you are a producer with a high-pressure pivot that has not received the information and follow-up, please contact Eric Beingessner (Operations Superintendent) for details.
• Initial funding is limited however, should applications and interest from high-pressure pivot owners exceed available funds, the WID Board would consider increasing total funds available in order to achieve more water efficiency.
