The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) received a $505,000 Formula Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442). The grant period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The funding will support the VT DEC's program to assist the Wells River water system, a small and disadvantaged community public water system, to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. Key project activities include optimizing and revitalizing the manganese filters, adding an entry point chlorine monitoring location, improving distribution pressures, developing a new groundwater source, and updating the asset management and capital improvements plan. These activities are expected to increase regulatory compliance, improve water system resilience, and reduce operational costs for the Village of Wells River, the sub-grantee implementing the project.
