The district will evaluate drinking water system improvements.
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, DEC. 27, 2024 - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $30,000 Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant to Lincoln County Public Water Supply District No. 2 to evaluate its drinking water system.
The department’s Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant Program offers funding to small communities for engineering costs incurred during preparation of an engineering report. The district will use the grant to develop a report intended to identify drinking water system improvements needed to enable the district 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 the grant, the district has an opportunity to assess its system and identify ways to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and capacity, helping the district further satisfy public health and safe drinking water regulations. This assistance will help the community plan for future growth and development, and determine what actions are necessary to address its drinking water needs.
The department’s Financial Assistance Center is committed to working with communities to assist with water and wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. The department’s Financial Assistance Center provides funding opportunities for 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.
