The drinking water improvements are being made possible in part by money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and a Department of Economic Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The Department of Natural Resources awarded Monroe County PWSD #2 with a Recovery Act State Revolving Fund $1,065,250 grant, a $1,065,200 loan and a $310,103 Rural Water Grant to make necessary drinking water improvements to the facility. In addition, the Department of Economic Development provided a $500,000 CDBG to the district.
The improvements will include a new 100,000 gallon elevated storage tank, pump station, distribution system improvements and new water meters.
