This budget account is specific to costs associated with the Nevada Water Conservation and Infrastructure Initiative (NWCII). The centerpiece of the NWCII is a $100 million grant proposal funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This program supports investments to reduce water demand by residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors, while supporting investments to repair and replace aging, leaking infrastructure and simultaneously investing in our workforce. The initiative will deploy $100 million in ARPA dollars towards water infrastructure and conservation efforts using a formula-based selection process and administered through the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
