City will evaluate drinking water system improvements
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, FEB. 11, 2025 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $30,000 Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant to the city of Annapolis to evaluate its drinking water system.
Through its Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant program, the department offers funding to qualified communities to help cover costs of evaluating public drinking water system improvements. The city will use the grant to identify improvements that will enable the system to continue meeting drinking water quality standards and providing reliable water service.
Water and wastewater systems are essential infrastructure that support the health and economic vitality of a community. Through this grant, qualified communities like Annapolis can thoroughly assess their drinking water systems and identify improvements for efficiency, effectiveness, and capacity, as well as to satisfy safe drinking water regulations. During the assessment, communities can determine what actions are needed to address current drinking water needs and plan for future growth and development.
The department is committed to assisting Missouri communities with water and wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. Through its Financial Assistance Center, the department provides funding opportunities for qualified communities with water quality, wastewater and drinking water infrastructure needs. This project will be funded wholly or in part with monies received from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
