The Training and Technical Assistance grant program supports small public water systems (PWS) in operations and maintenance to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). It helps states and water systems build technical, managerial, and financial (TMF) capabilities, which are required for loan assistance from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Strong TMF capabilities are crucial for PWSs to reliably deliver safe drinking water and comply with regulations. The program also aids small publicly-owned and decentralized wastewater systems in improving operations and public health. Additionally, it offers technical assistance to private well owners. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and educational institutions, which provide direct training and support to these water systems and well owners.
