Machine-classified from the call text; check eligibility at the source. 23 Oct 2026

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant typeIndividual grant applicant and property scope.

Natural persons owning, co-owning, or holding perpetual usufruct of property with a residential building in Pomorskie, with legal title and proof the building is authorized for use.

Applicant must have legal title and proof of permitted use; property must not have received Moja Woda support.

Application restriction

Continuous intake from 22 June 2026 until funds are allocated; Fund may suspend or end intake early if the allocation is exceeded. Remaining allocation and live GWD acceptance were not independently verified.

Application restriction

Where the property is jointly owned or held in perpetual usufruct, written consent of all other co-owners/co-users is required; one submits the application.

Application restriction

The project must be completed on application date; completion is dated by the final invoice or equivalent accounting document for the product, equipment, material, installation or service.

Application restriction

Where more than one application is filed for the same property, only the first application is considered (receipt order controls).

Eligible project scopeUse restrictions for the grant-funded installation.

Stored water must be used for household purposes or nature retention, including home-garden irrigation; not for business or agricultural activity.

Eligible project scopeGrant-funded installation and on-site water use.

Individual rainwater and snowmelt micro-retention on a property with a single-family home in Pomorskie, retaining and using water on site.

Existing stormwater sewer connection is permitted only for emergency overflow under updated connection conditions.

Other conditionCurrent route Annex 4, physical PDF pages 1–3; separate from per-project cost ceilings and application timing.

Current Annex 4 adds technical and proof guidance: installations are to comply with water/building/product rules and applicable standards; materials/equipment comply with applicable law and, where applicable, standards/technical approvals; storage must be leak-tight. The recommendation states at least 2.0 m³ total tank capacity; underground retention should provide actual infiltration or delayed outflow and should be selected with soil/water conditions in view. It identifies example proof documents (CE/UN markings, declarations, product technical card, ITB certificate, leak-tightness protocol/certificate, PZH approval, installation technical documentation, geotechnical opinion, manufacturer warranty). Examples are explicitly dependent on installation specifics, not a universal exhaustive attachment checklist.

Applicable technical recommendations and examples must be read with installation type and source wording (“should”, “recommended”, and illustrative documents); no unconditional requirement for every example is asserted.

Other conditionApplicant access to own file, Applicant Regulation §12, physical p.8.

On the grant recipient’s request, WFOŚiGW provides a copy of the documentation submitted for the grant and application processing. The recipient may inspect that documentation but may not take photographs while inspecting it. This applicant access right is separate from Fund inspection rights over the project.

Available on request; no applicant request was made.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §10(2)-(7), correction/rejection/appeal (physical p.7)

Fund permits up to two correction/supplement requests, each due within 14 calendar days; after two unanswered/inadequately answered requests the application is negatively reviewed. Negative decision may be appealed within 14 calendar days from receipt; appeal triggers renewed evaluation if successful. These are procedural timelines, not project duration.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplication authentication and document-attachment prerequisites under Applicant Regulation §5(5), physical p.3 (printed p.2).

Before submitting an application through GWD, the grant applicant must register an account on the portal or log in to an existing account. The account enables the applicant to complete and sign the application using a qualified electronic signature or trusted profile and attach the required annexes. This records the regulation’s filing mechanics; it does not establish that an applicant has created an account, that live GWD accepted a filing, or that a particular signature method is available to a specific applicant.

Account creation/login and signature/attachment mechanics are source requirements. No live GWD session or application was tested; neither signing route is attributed to a particular applicant.

Other conditionApplication filing and allocation-overflow procedure, Applicant Regulation §5(3)–(7), (physical pp.3–4).

The current Applicant Regulation requires filing on the mandatory form through GWD; paper applications are not considered. The receipt date recorded by GWD establishes timely filing. If requested allocations exceed available funding, the Fund may stop or suspend intake; later GWD filings are put on a reserve list in order of receipt, and can be positively considered only if funds become available. This is distinct from the route page’s announced intake opening and does not establish current remaining balance.

Live GWD submission and current allocation were not tested.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(10), completed implementation/DNSH (physical p.5)

Recipient declares DNSH compliance; where applicable this includes water-law permits/notices, compliance with tree/shrub removal decisions, technically compliant market-admitted materials/devices, and documentary/protocol/photo evidence. These permissions and records are conditional where the source says “if applicable”.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(4), economy, rationality and effectiveness (physical p.4)

Recipient must incur project expenses lawfully, economically and cost-minimizing while maintaining suitable quality, rationally and effectively to obtain best results for inputs.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(8), project lawfulness and products (physical p.5)

Implementation must comply with law; devices and materials must be admitted for use on the Polish market.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(9), conditional administrative requirements (physical p.5)

Where required by applicable law, the recipient must demonstrate that required final administrative decisions were obtained or notifications made.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionCurrent official forms linked by the Gdańsk Mikroretencja page; application/representation and post-award completion branches.

The current route-linked forms are stage- and circumstance-specific templates: G.1 documents other co-owners’/perpetual usufruct users’ consent for the named applicant; G.2 is the spouse’s consent to grant-contract obligations; G.3 is a power of attorney; G.4A records beneficiary self-purchase, installation and commissioning; G.4B records installation acceptance with contractor and work dates. They do not establish that every applicant must submit every form. Use G.1 when joint ownership/use requires consent, G.3 when an agent represents the applicant, G.4A for self-installation, and the acceptance protocol for a contractor-completed installation; G.2 is a conditional spouse-consent template, not evidence of an applicant’s marital status.

Forms themselves describe their subject matter. Applicability to a particular applicant or work stage depends on ownership, representation, spouse-consent requirement, and installation mode; no individual facts inferred.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(12), during 5-year durability (physical p.5)

During the five-year durability period (clock starts at grant payment), recipient must retain all project documentation and operate the complete installation according to its intended purpose.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionNotice and service rules, Applicant Regulation §8(1)–(7), physical p.6.

The Applicant Regulation permits written correspondence, email documentary form sent to the address named in the application, or e-Delivery. For email, notice is effective when it enters the communication system so the recipient can access it; statutory e-Delivery rules govern e-Delivery. The applicant must keep the declared email working, ensure address correctness, and send applicant statements only from the declared email; statements from other addresses are left unprocessed.

Do not infer use of a particular channel by an individual applicant.

Other condition

Project durability is five years from WFOŚiGW payment; during that period the recipient must keep project documentation and operate the installation as intended.

Other conditionProject inspection consent, Applicant Regulation §13(3), physical p.9.

Filing the application constitutes consent to project inspection before grant payment and during the durability period by WFOŚiGW, NFOŚiGW, or other authorized institutions and bodies. This Fund’s inspection authority is distinct from the grant recipient’s own §12 right to request and inspect the application file.

No inspection of an applicant project was performed.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §7(5), cumulative public funding (physical p.4)

Other public funding, including EU sources, may finance the project or project components, subject to the separate aggregate ceiling of 100% of eligible costs. This is not a prohibition on all co-financing; no duplicate-funding restriction is asserted.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §11(9)-(10), post-award termination/clawback (physical p.8)

If durability or other terms are violated, Fund may terminate and demand repayment; recipient-caused return includes tax-arrears-rate interest from payment through return and is due within 14 calendar days after service of the demand.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionApplicant Regulation §11(4)-(7), post-award refund settlement (physical p.8)

Reimbursement requires recipient-named paid invoices/accounting records and payment proof, final acceptance protocol or self-performance declaration, and photographs; Fund may request additional documents if inspection raises questions. Payment is conditional on regulation compliance and available project funds.

Programme-specific operative wording; conditional applicability retained where source says “if applicable”.

Other conditionProperty transfer timing and continuity, Applicant Regulation §7 footnote 9, physical p.5.

The footnote attached to the Applicant Regulation’s durability clause permits sale of the property during the durability period only if the purchaser submits a declaration to maintain project durability, and prohibits sale before grant payment. Preserve this timing distinction separately from the five-year durability period.

A sale is not inferred; the buyer’s declaration condition applies to a transfer during durability.

Other condition

The combined funding from all public sources may not exceed 100% of eligible project costs.

Other conditionSuccession before agreement and during durability, Applicant Regulation §11(11)–(13), physical p.8.

If the recipient dies after filing but before the grant agreement, an heir may file a written statement to continue the application. If death occurs during durability, an heir may submit a written request to assume the agreement’s rights and duties. In either branch, invoices and other project records issued to the deceased recipient may be considered in settlement. These are separate successor routes and are not applicant-specific outcomes.

Applies only upon recipient death at the stated stage; legal succession requirements remain governed by applicable law.
