The State Water Resources Control Board seeks to preserve, enhance, and restore the quality of California’s water resources and drinking water for the protection of the environment, public health, and all beneficial uses, and to ensure proper water resource allocation and efficient use, for the benefit of present and future generations.
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Program's Water/Energy Audit grant aims to encourage public agencies to independently examine their water and energy usage, identify areas of inefficiency, and devise a comprehensive plan for improvement. This audit can include both water and energy or focus on one specifically, but must pertain to projects, facilities, or activities eligible for CWSRF funding. Agencies have the option to use their own staff or hire consultants for the audit. The funding supports principal forgiveness for 100% of audit costs, up to $35,000.
