Water Well Program

The Household Water Well Grant program complements environmental initiatives and provides support for rural residents. Many rural residents do not live in areas where a centralized water system is available, therefore it is essential that rural residents have access to wells that are safe and working.

USDA Rural Development’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for rural residents. Individuals may be eligible for loans if their annual household income does not exceed 100 percent of their state or territory’s median non-metropolitan income. This loan may not be used for home sewer or septic system projects.

Golden Triangle has been awarded this grant every year since 2010. Since that time, over 128 new wells have been installed or repaired for low-income citizens.
