The Residential Public Infrastructure Grant Program creates safe and sanitary living environment for Ohio citizens, through the provision of safe and reliable drinking water and proper disposal of sanitary waste.

The program funds projects which provide water and/or sanitary sewer service to primarily residential users (minimum 60% of total users). Eligible on-site improvements include service laterals, septic tanks and well abandonment, and Community Development Block Grant-eligible-related fees. Applications where the primary objective is the funding of on-site improvements will not be considered for funding period.

Eligible applicants include non-entitlement counties, cities and villages. Counties must apply on behalf of unincorporated areas and villages that do not have a demonstrated capacity to operate a public water or wastewater system.
