Funding Available for Georgia Water Well Drilling Projects
Deadline for Water Well Trust Help is Sept. 30
The Water Well Trust (WWT) is still seeking eligible households from 15 counties in Georgia to receive new water wells or rehabilitate existing wells before available funding expires on Sept. 30. The national nonprofit helps low income Americans get access to a clean, safe water supply.
To date, the nonprofit has completed water well projects in Hancock, Murray, Twiggs, Wilcox, Colquitt, and Monroe counties. Funds are still available for low-interest loans to eligible individual households for a new water well or rehabilitation of an existing water well. WWT limits funding to a maximum of $11,000 per household. Loans have an interest rate of 1 percent with terms of up to 20 years.
