Currently, a county board of supervisors (BOS) may establish a program to allow gifts, grants and donations for the purpose of providing financial assistance to qualified owners of residential real property for making improvements to an existing drinking water well or providing for a water delivery system for the residence. The county BOS must designate a county agency, department or division to operate the program but may also designate a private, nonprofit corporation. The county BOS are prohibited from using general county monies for grants under this program (A.R.S. § 11-254.09).
