Grant Opportunity: Pilot Project On Water Conservation, Municipal Project in Canada

Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) is offering grant to Pilot Project on water conservation and municipal project to help Canadian cities and communities of all sizes promote water conservation.

Pilot projects assess solutions in real-life conditions. They evaluate either a small-scale version of a project or a full-scale, replicable version.
Objectives
This funding is for retrofit initiatives only. Your pilot project may compare several options or assess one option’s ability to reduce potable water use by at least 40% in a municipal building.
They do not fund the purchase, installation, replacement or repair of water mains as a stand-alone initiative.They will fund those activities if they are part of a broader, more innovative initiative.
The pilot should assess whether the project meets the necessary requirements (e.g., financial, technical), has a solid business case and the ability to deliver strong environmental, financial and social benefits directly to your community or through replication in other municipalities. Your project’s outcomes should help you decide whether to scale up the use of the solution you are piloting.Examples of what you might pilot:
Alternative greywater treatment systems
Rainwater collection and reuse
Funding Information
Up to $500,000 to cover up to 50% of eligible costs
Municipalities and municipal partners with a population of 20,000 or under may qualify for a grant of up to 80 per cent of eligible project costs under certain conditions.

Is audacious in that it requires a municipality to take on uncertainty over known best practices to achieve greater environmental benefits
Is designed to build the capacity of key stakeholders (e.g., municipal staff, elected officials, local trades)
Has the potential to generate new knowledge for the sector
Has a high likelihood of being replicated if successful
