Can the SWP grant be used to fence the water treatment facility?
The purpose of the SWP grant program is to protect the drinking water source (prior to reaching the drinking water system), so the grant can be used to fence around a water source (including a well head, surface water intake, or spring box) to protect it from security threats and potential contamination. This grant can not be used for fencing only the treatment plant. If a treatment plant is on the same lot/area as the source and it is unreasonable to fence it separately from the source, it could be eligible for source water protection grant funding.
