$4.5 Million Awarded for Ohio Water Projects
1/10/2018
The Ohio EPA has awarded $4.5 million in low-interest loans to improve two water systems across the state.
The projects receiving funding include:
- $1.86 million to the Greater Cincinnati Water Works to replace the Beech Avenue water main. The project includes replacing more than 9,000 feet of 6-inch diameter pipe to reduce service disruption and labor costs caused by frequent repairs to the old waterline. It is expected to be completed in March 2018.
- $2.64 million to Muskingum County to extend public drinking water service to 273 residences and businesses in the unincorporated area around Cannelville. The project includes the construction of 76,000 feet of waterlines along State Route 555, County Road 6 and into Cannelville. Once completed, it will provide a reliable public water supply to replace contaminated private water supplies and eliminate three small public water systems.
Created in 1998, the Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) provides below-market interest rate loans for compliance-related improvements for community water systems and nonprofit, non-community public water systems.
More information about the WSRLA is available at: epa.ohio.gov/defa/EnvironmentalandFinancialAssistance.aspx.
