Applications due Wednesday, November 15

Do you have an idea for a P3S-related outreach project and need a financial boost to get it off the ground? The P3S Committee is excited to continue the grants program for P3S-related projects. The committee plans to award a total of $5,000, distributed in two to five separate grants, in the range of $500 to $2,500 each. We encourage agencies to get creative and partner with community groups or use the funds to leverage a new project.

The grant is intended to plant a seed; we know it may not be enough to support your entire project. To this end, we strongly encourage community partnerships. Whether your agency partners with a non-profit, a school or another group, we believe that these relationships can leverage and further the clean water message.

Be creative as you consider how you can reach more people through community partnerships. Applications are due by November 15, 2023.

We've made this announcement a few too many times over the last two years... on Thursday, January 6th, the CWEA Executive Committee and P3S Committee made the prudent decision to reschedule the 2022 Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, and Stormwater Conference to June 2022 due to the rising number of COVID infections in LA County and across California. In addition, health experts are now recommending events scheduled for January in LA County be postponed.

CWEA staff will reach out to attendees, speakers, and exhibitors to explain your options on how to apply your conference registration to the new dates. We'll also provide details from the hotel on how to manage your reservation.
