Sec. 4905.
(1) A local agency may apply to the department for a grant under this part.
(2) A grant shall be made in an amount equal to 1/2 that portion of the cost of construction of collecting sewers, computed upon the cost of the current year's project only, in excess of 10% of the state equalized value of all taxable property within the political boundaries of the unit of government served by the collecting sewers certified under subsection (2) of section 4906 or $1,000,000.00, whichever is less.
(3) Grants are subject to the following limitations:
(a) A grant shall not be made for collecting sewers required under the subdivision control act of 1967, Act No. 288 of the Public Acts of 1967, being sections 560.101 to 560.293 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
(b) A grant shall not be made for collecting sewers for which a federal grant has been made if the amount of the federal grant equals or exceeds the amount of the state grant that the collecting sewers would have received if there had been no federal grant. If the amount of the federal grant made for the collecting sewers is less than the amount of the state grant that the collecting sewers would have received if there had not been a federal grant, the amount of the state grant made for the collecting sewers shall not exceed the difference between the state grant that the collecting sewers would have received if there had not been a federal grant, and the federal grant.
(c) A grant shall not be made for collecting sewers, the construction of which would result in the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated sewage to the waters of the state.

(e) A grant shall not be made for collecting sewers which the department determines would not meet an existing or imminent need or would constitute a noneconomic or speculative project.
(f) A local agency shall not be allotted more than 2% of the fund.
