Grant: $151,700 |
Outline of Need: The city of Granville has a population of 286 residents and is located in the northern part of the state. The city has been experiencing sanitary sewer disruptions due to the heavy inflow/infiltration of the original clay tile sewer deteriorating and inadequate storage capacity of the existing lagoon cell. There are a total of 139 residential users and six commercial users on this system. |
How Rural Development Helped:
The loan and grant funds will be used to construct a new wastewater lagoon cell, expansion of two existing cells to a combined 2.17 acres, installing a lift station, and construct a force main from the lift station to the new cell. Completion of this project is essential for the delivery of an adequate wastewater handling system to the residents of Granville. Granville cannot obtain conventional financing for the project without unduly burdening the end users with higher water rates.
The Results:
The residents of Granville will have a wastewater system that meets their needs and satisfies environmental requirements.
