The Assistance Program will provide financial assistance to relocate, replace, upgrade, modify or otherwise improve private potable water and sewage disposal systems. This program is limited to systems within the Trinity River floodplain between River Mile 111.8 (downstream of Lewiston Dam) and River Mile 72.6 (upstream of the confluence with the North Fork Trinity River).

This Assistance Program is being administered by Trinity County with funds provided by the United States through the TRRP. A total of approximately $211,864 is currently available for reimbursement to qualified applicants under this program.

Applicants are limited to $10,000.00 per each improved parcel for potable water systems and $5,000.00 per each improved parcel for sewage disposal systems. Applicants may receive financial assistance only one time per system for capital improvements.

Applicants must obtain and fill out an application form available at the Trinity County Planning Department. Applications will be reviewed by Trinity County in cooperation with a designated representative of the United States. Applicants will be notified in writing by Trinity County as to their eligibility to participate in the program.

Applicants must comply with all local, state and federal permitting requirements for the work to be completed. In particular, the applicable Trinity County Building and Planning Department permits must be obtained and complied with. Applicants who do not comply with all permit requirements will not be eligible for financial assistance.

Information on the Assistance Program can be obtained from Tom Stokely, Trinity County Planning Department, at 530 623-1351 Ext. 3407, or Denise Wiltse, TRRP, at 530 623-1803.
