The grant provides up to $10,000 to Okotoks businesses and institutions who want to save some money, but also do their part to conserve water through water efficiency upgrades. Installing water-efficient fixtures, equipment, and landscaping can save an organization money on bi-monthly water bills!
In your application, you will indicate what kind of upgrades you want to do, provide details about the project, estimate how much water the upgrades will save, and tell us how much the project will cost. The grant provides money towards the purchase and install of the water-saving elements of the project.
After the application deadline, the Town will evaluate all submissions based on a scoring rubric and assess which projects will get grant funding. The decision will be based on which projects are estimated to save the most water. Once an approved project is completed and inspections done, the applicant will submit all final receipts, invoices, and project photos before receiving the funds in the form of a cheque or EFT payment.
The Town would like to thank the cities of St. Albert and Guelph for their assistance with developing this program.
