Ohio Town Receives Funding for Sanitary Sewer Upgrades
The Ohio EPA has awarded the City of Chardon with a $230,685 low-interest loan from its Water Pollution Control Loan Fund that will allow the community to develop a plan to remedy undersized sewers and prevent sanitary sewer overflows into Lake Erie.
With the loan, the city plans to design sanitary sewer improvements with a focus on replacing sewers that do not have capacity to bear the amount of material they currently conveyed through the system. The City of Chardon expects to complete the designs by January 2018.
Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund provides below market interest rate loans for Ohio communities to improve their wastewater treatment systems. The reduced interest rate on the $230,685 loan will save the city about $8,000.
In addition to improvements to publicly owned treatment works, the WPCLF provides technical assistance to public wastewater systems in a variety of areas from the planning, design and construction of improvements to enhancing the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.
