North Carolina Towns Get Funding for Sewer and Water Repairs
4/11/2017
Under the Disaster Recovery Act of 2016, the Rural Economic Development Division of NC Commerce has awarded state-funded recovery grants to four communities to repair water and sewer systems damaged by Hurricane Matthew.
The communities receiving grants are:
- Ayden in Pitt County will get $266,500 to replace and reroute storm sewer piping that failed during Hurricane Matthew
- Brunswick County will get $1,217,343 to help repair a water main feed damaged by Hurricane Matthew
- Edenton in Chowan County will get $187,995 to identify and clear storm debris from sewer lines and repair the lines as needed
- Elizabeth City in Pasquotank County will get $600,000 to replace and relocate sewer infrastructure that failed during Matthew
“North Carolina is working to help communities impacted by Hurricane Matthew rebuild even stronger and better than before,” Gov. Cooper said. “We still have a long way to go before those devastated by the storm are whole again but these grants are key steps to get us there.”
