Application information and requirements may vary depending upon the scope and objective of

. Description of Applicant (Water Activity Sponsor and any partners)

Each application for funding should include a description of the entity (see page 8 for
eligible entities) that is sponsoring or pursuing the water activity. The applicant/sponsor
may be a public or private entity. Given the diverse range of potential water activities and
applicants/sponsors, not all of the following information may be relevant. Where applicable
and relevant the description should include the following:

o Type of organization, official name, the year formed, and the statutes under which
the entity was formed, a contact person and that person's position or title, address
and phone number. For private entities, a copy of the Articles of Incorporation and
By-laws should be appended to the application.

o For waters suppliers, information regarding the number of customers, taps, service
area, and current water usage, and future growth plans, water related facilities owned
or used, funding/revenue sources (existing service charges, tap fees, share
assessments, etc.), the number of members or shareholders and shares of stock
outstanding or a description of other means of ownership.

o For other entities, background, interest and capacity, organizational size, staffing and
budget, and funding related to water that is relevant in determining whether the
applicant has the ability to accomplish the water activity for which funding is
sought.
