PCWA funds the grants through its Financial Assistance Program (FAP), which assists Placer County special districts deliver water services for beneficial uses.

The awardees were selected based on recommendations by the FAP Screening Committee. The grant recipients for 2017 follow, with a brief description of each project:

Christian Valley Community Service District – Awarded $7,565 for the planning and design of its Reservoir Replacement Project (Phase 1), which will increase the District’s water supply by replacing the existing in-ground reservoir with steel tanks.
