MCES funding and grant programs

Municipal Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program

The municipal grant program leverages state bonding to provide grants to municipalities for improvements to public infrastructure to repair cracks and deterioration, or when roots break through the pipes, allowing stormwater and groundwater into the system.

Private Property Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program

The private property program grants wastewater revenue funds as financial assistance to private property owners who have cracks, deterioration, or roots breaking through the pipes on their property, allowing stormwater and groundwater into the system.

Water Efficiency Grant Program

The current round of funding for our Water Efficiency Grant Program is now closed. During the 2023 Minnesota legislative session, the Met Council was awarded funding to continue offering the Water Efficiency Grant Program in the future. Communities served by municipal public water supply systems will be encouraged to apply when details for the next round of the program are announced.
