Nonpoint Source Program - Municipal Sewer Connections Grants

The Municipal Sewer Connections Grants, offered by the Montana Department of Natural Resources & Conservation, aim to protect water resources by funding projects that facilitate the transition from individual septic systems to municipal sewer connections. This program, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis, is designed to alleviate the financial burden of such transitions for homeowners, thereby promoting improved water quality and sustainability in Montana.
