Sewer Funding Coming In

The first portion of funding for the Alvordton sewer project has been secured in Williams County…it comes to the tune of $920 thousand dollars in federal funds from the Army Corps of Engineers. The grant dollars were awarded with the understanding of a 75-25 matching arrangement, with Williams County paying $332,000. The county’s portion will be paid through its Community Development Block Grant revolving loan fund. Officials say household sewage had been discharged into tributaries of Mill Creek, creating unsanitary conditions.
