Municipal Grants

The Alaska Municipal Water, Sewerage, and Solid Waste Matching Grant program provides partial funding and engineering support for drinking water, wastewater (sewer), solid waste and non-point source pollution projects, such as waterbody restoration and recovery. These state grants primarily assist the larger communities and boroughs in the State. Our primary services are:

• Providing grants for facility planning and construction.
