FY 2023 disaster grant-combination w & w

The Gardiner, Park County Water And Sewer District received a $623,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The grant, awarded on January 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of January 28, 2027, has enabled the district to undertake multiple critical infrastructure projects. These projects include lagoon restoration through silt removal, water main repair, sewer line stabilization and relocation, north bank water main relocation, outfall pipe rip rap repair, and debris removal following 2022 flooding. The district has worked closely with the Department of Military Affairs Montana as a prime grantee to execute these sub-awards, which primarily address utility infrastructure repairs and management costs. The federal grant award demonstrates the district's commitment to maintaining and enhancing water and waste services in its rural community, with a specific focus on disaster recovery and infrastructure resilience.
