Money Available to Help with Septic Systems

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Financial Assistance Center invites qualified non-profit organizations to apply for funding made available through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The Financial Assistance Center is making $2.5 million available to one or more non-profits to assist homeowners in select Missouri watersheds with failing onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), also known as septic systems and single-family lagoons. The funding will help reduce public health and environmental concerns related to untreated or minimally treated sewage and other household water rich in nutrients and bacteria entering Missouri’s watersheds and aquifers. Applications are due by 5 p.m., August 8, 2023. Applicants must submit proposals to the Department’s Financial Assistance Center at fac@dnr.mo.gov. 

To learn more about the CWSRF program, visit the Department’s website here: https://dnr.mo.gov/water/business-industry-other-entities/financial-opportunities/financial-assistance-center/wastewater. 

For questions or comments regarding the RFP, solicitation process, evaluation, or other components of the OWTS grant program please contact the Department’s Financial Assistance Center at 573-751-1192, or fac@dnr.mo.gov.
