Ohio Regulators Award Nearly $3.5 Million for Sewer Project

In projects financed with loans worth approximately $3.5 million from the Ohio EPA, Perry County will install a sanitary sewer system in Moore’s Junction and study the feasibility of establishing a storm water utility in the village of Crooksville.
The Moore’s Junction project involves constructing a sanitary sewer system to replace 50 failing home septic systems that are a potential human health threat. The county plans to build gravity sewers, a pump station, and force main to convey sewage to a new wastewater treatment plant in Moore’s Junction’s “Six Mile Turn” area. The $3.47 million project is primarily financed by a $2.47 million loan from Ohio EPA’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF). Additionally, the county is receiving a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant and $500,000 from the Ohio Water Development Authority.
The Crooksville project involves conducting a feasibility study to determine whether to create a storm water utility designed to improve storm water management and minimize impacts on the village’s water and wastewater infrastructure. The project is financed by an interest-free $32,250 loan.
Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) provides below-market interest rate loans for communities to improve their wastewater treatment systems.
