Grants
Sewage Facilities Assistance
Okanagan Basin Water BoardDescription
One of the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s oldest programs, for more than 40 years sewage facilities grants have helped Okanagan communities make dramatic reductions in nutrient loading to lakes and streams.
The OBWB provides a locally-based source of funds to match provincial infrastructure dollars, under the principle that clean water benefits all Basin residents.
Eligibility
Only communities employing tertiary treatment of sewage effluent are eligible for grants
Funding
The OBWB will pay 16% of the total eligible costs - on average, the same net amounts as historical grants
