Grants to improve water & sewer infrastructure within unincorporated areas of Yavapai County

On Wednesday, August 18, 2021, the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a plan to spend 10 million dollars of the nearly 46 million dollars the county will receive from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), on improving water and sewer infrastructure within unincorporated areas of Yavapai County.  

The application for these grant funds begins by downloading, completing, and submitting the application which can be found at YavapaiAZ.GOV under the Board Links section (ARPA Grant Application).  There is also a written project proposal required for submission along with the application.  For assistance with the application process contact the Board of Supervisors office at 928-771-3200. 

The review and approval process will include a panel of representatives from County Administration, Public Works, and Facilities Departments to review all completed applications, and make recommendations for award to the Board of Supervisors.  Ranking will be based on eligible criteria, providing a positive impact on unincorporated community’s water quality and or water delivery system, the number of households served, available funding, and the long-term benefit to the community.
