In municipalities where only some <br />neighborhoods or areas are served by a municipal public water supply system, only those served by <br />the municipal public water supply system are eligible. <br /> <br />Municipalities eligible per above must apply to participate and, if approved, sign a Met Council Grant <br />Agreement, before any eligible rebates or grants can be submitted for reimbursement. Agreements <br />shall require that municipalities: <br /> Entirely pass through grants received (as is being done by Met Council) <br /> Verify purchase of devices or other grant activities to receive grants <br /> Retain records and cooperate with any audits <br /> Conduct all communications with property owners and ensure all written communications to <br />property owners include both the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and the <br />Metropolitan CouncilÓs logo <br /> Provide quantitative information for state reporting purposes <br />50 <br /> <br />
