*in cases where municipalities have opted in to the low-income cost assistance element, the percent covered by Met Council <br />may exceed 80% <br /> <br />Eligibility <br />Requirements for applying municipalities <br />This grant program is limited to municipalities in the seven-county metropolitan area that operate or are <br />served by a municipal public water supply system. <br /> <br />Grants are only for water efficiency programs offering rebates or grants to property owners and their <br />renters who are customers of the municipal water supply system and who replace specified water-using <br />devices with approved devices that use substantially less water (or conduct other grant activities such <br />as irrigation audits or, for municipalities, turfgrass conversion). In municipalities where only some <br />neighborhoods or areas are served by a municipal public water supply system, only those served by <br />the municipal public water supply system are eligible. <br /> <br />Municipalities eligible per above must apply to participate and, if approved, sign a Met Council Grant <br />Agreement, before any eligible rebates or grants can be submitted for reimbursement. Agreements <br />shall require that municipalities: <br />• Entirely pass through grants received (as is being done by Met Council) <br />• Verify purchase of devices or other grant activities to receive grants <br />• Retain records and cooperate with any audits <br />• Conduct all communications with property owners and ensure all written communications to <br />property owners include both the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and the <br />Metropolitan Council’s logo <br />• Provide quantitative information for state reporting purposes
