$2.1 Million Awarded for Ohio Sewer, Water Projects

10/30/2017

The Ohio EPA has awarded more than $2.1 million in low-interest loans from the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund to improve sewer and water systems across the state.

The projects receiving funding include:

$92,085 to the village of Mingo Junction to model the village’s sanitary sewer system to support an anticipated combined sewer overflow elimination project.
$182,122 to the village of Danville to rehabilitate the village’s sewer system to reduce infiltration and inflow during wet weather, including the installation of 2,300 feet of cured-in-place-pipe lining and repairing manholes to minimize storm water in the sanitary sewer system and reduce flows to the wastewater treatment plant.
$1.855 million to the city of Oregon to improve water pressure in the city’s Southwest distribution system by extending a water transmission main to complete a loop to ensure adequate water pressure for domestic use and fire protection.

Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) provides below-market interest rate loans for communities to improve their wastewater treatment systems.
