BERTHOUD — The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District will provide about $180,000 in grants in 2022 to water conservation projects in the region.
The money is from Northern Water’s Water-Efficient Landscape Grant Program, now in its fourth year. In total, the water district has contributed about $575,000 to 47 projects over the course of the four years.
Grants have ranged from about $2,500 to $20,000, which is the maximum awarded, funding projects that have included irrigation system upgrades, transitions to water-wise plantings, native-grass conversions, incorporation of soil amendments, and more, according to information from the district.
“With the millions of square-feet of landscape that have been renovated, in combination with the countless residents who’ve seen the positive impacts of these projects, this grant program has achieved exactly what we always hoped it would,” Frank Kinder, Water Efficiency Department manager at Northern Water, said in a press statement.
Here are the 2022 recipients and the projects that Northern Water’s grant program is currently supporting:
The process to apply for the next round of grants has just begun with applicant consultations now through Sept. 30. Questions can be directed to Northern Water at 800-369-7246 or emailing waterefficiency@northernwater.org.
