The grant offers funding to qualified communities to help cover engineering costs for evaluating wastewater system improvements.

The city will use the grant to identify wastewater system improvements needed to meet permit requirements, continue reliable service to its areas and reduce storm water infiltration into sewer collection pipes.

The city’s improvement plan should be completed by December 2023.
