Quarterly reporting <br />Reporting requirements and payment process <br />Utilizing a reporting form provided by Met Council, the following information about each grant activity <br />must be reported on a quarterly basis: <br /> Property address and property type (residential, commercial, municipal) <br /> Low-income assistance (Y/N) (if applicable) <br /> Grant activity (device replacement, audit, or municipal turfgrass conversion) <br /> Brand/model info of new device <br /> Purchase date (must be on or after effective date of grant agreement) <br /> Cost per device/approved grant activity <br /> Number of devices/activities <br /> Rebate or grant per device <br /> Estimated annual gallons of water saved per device installation/approved grant activity <br /> Optional notes column for explaining water use calculations if different from those provided <br /> Municipality matching funds disbursed <br /> Number of unmet funding requests from property owners, if any <br /> <br />Municipalities are required to submit a signed and dated quarterly reporting form as well as a PDF(s) of <br />receipts corresponding to each entry in the quarterly reporting form. <br /> <br />Upon review and confirmation of the above information, Met Council will process a grant payment in the <br />amount of 80% of approved total rebates or grants for the reporting period (in cases where <br />municipalities have opted in to the low-income cost assistance element, the percent covered by Met <br />Council may exceed 80%). <br /> <br />Met Council will provide confirmation of grant balances available upon request and reserves the right to <br />amend grant agreements, in collaboration with grantee municipality, if quarterly reporting indicates <br />rebate or grant programs will not fully utilize grant awards within the grant period. <br /> <br />Determining estimated water savings <br />Annual water savings estimates may come from a variety of sources. Manufacturers may include water <br />savings estimates in their device descriptions or specifications, irrigation professionals report estimated <br />savings after performing an irrigation system audit, and some past participants of the WEGP have <br />calculated specific water savings estimates based on factors such as household size. <br />Unless a city has specifically calculated estimated water savings or is referring to manufacturer or audit <br />estimates, the recommended sources for estimated water savings are WaterSense and Energy Star. <br />Water savings estimates from WaterSense and Energy Star are included in the table of eligible grant <br />activities. <br />In quarterly reports, municipalities will be asked to note the source of their estimates if they different <br />from the estimates provided above. In the case of irrigation system audits and turfgrass conversion on <br />municipal properties, estimates have not been provided by Met Council as these metrics will be <br />calculated by an Irrigation Professional or the municipality, respectively. In any situation where it is <br />possible to report actual water savings, this is preferred. <br /> <br /> <br />53 <br /> <br />
