This $941,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442) will assist the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) in helping the City of Piedmont, Missouri bring its drinking water system back into compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The funding will support upgrades to the city's aging surface water treatment plant, including piping work, repairs to the inoperable settling basin, upgrades to control panels, and complete rewiring. As the subrecipient, the City of Piedmont will be responsible for overseeing the bidding, contracts, and providing ongoing operation and maintenance of the upgraded drinking water system. The anticipated deliverables include engineering plans, construction oversight, and quarterly/final reporting. These improvements are expected to help the City of Piedmont return to compliance with health-based drinking water standards and provide safe, reliable water to its citizens.
