1. Grants may be made pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of NRS 349.981 only for the Lincoln County Water District and those community and nontransient water systems that:
(a) Were in existence on January 1, 1995; and
(b) Are currently publicly owned.
2. In making its determination of which purveyors of water are to receive grants pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of NRS 349.981, the Board shall give preference to those purveyors of water whose public water systems regularly serve fewer than 6,000 persons.
3. Each recipient of a grant pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of NRS 349.981 shall provide an amount of money for the same purpose. The Board shall develop a scale to be used to determine that amount, but the recipient must not be required to provide an amount less than 15 percent or more than 75 percent of the total cost of the project for which the grant is awarded. The scale must be based upon the average household income of the customers of the recipient, and provide adjustments for the demonstrated economic hardship of those customers, the existence of an imminent risk to public health and any other factor that the Board determines to be relevant.
