Many communities have reduced I/I in publicly owned sewer infrastructure. But up to 80% of the I/I comes from private property. Use these tools to educate home and property owners about how to reduce I/I on their property.

MCES provides financial incentives for communities to reduce excessive I/I in the wastewater system from public and private sources. Since the program began in 2004, metro area communities have invested more than $165 million to repair local wastewater infrastructure.
This grant is for a community to complete repairs to both public and private infrastructure and study the results. The total award is up to $500,000 and the application requires a proposal that meets the criteria in this request for proposals. Applications are due August 31, 2018.
