FY 2022 disaster grant-water disposal only

The City of Jamestown received a $2.357 million Disaster Grant for Water Disposal from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). Awarded on May 7, 2025, with a completion deadline of May 7, 2027, this two-year project addresses critical water infrastructure needs in Jamestown, North Dakota resulting from natural disaster impacts. The funding specifically supports water disposal system repairs, improvements, and resilience measures to ensure reliable water infrastructure services for the rural community and to maintain reasonable user costs for residents and local businesses.

Under the RUS program framework, the City of Jamestown will utilize these grant funds to develop or repair water and waste disposal infrastructure serving the financially needy community. The project aligns with the RUS program's primary objectives of enhancing service quality and reliability while supporting rural communities in maintaining essential water and waste management services. As a Project Grant recipient, the City of Jamestown is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, complying with federal audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, and ensuring all funds are expended for authorized water infrastructure purposes consistent with applicable USDA regulations and rural development standards.
