The Lyman Water System received a $2.625 million congressionally directed spending grant 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 June 13, 2025, with a completion deadline of June 13, 2027, this project grant will fund critical water infrastructure improvements serving the rural community of Lyman, Utah. The funding supports the development and enhancement of drinking water systems and related infrastructure to ensure reliable service delivery and reasonable user costs for rural residents and businesses.

The RUS program prioritizes financial assistance to underserved rural communities with demonstrated need, emphasizing factors such as low income, unemployment, and health and sanitary concerns. Projects funded under this initiative typically encompass water system repairs, capacity development, and resilience improvements. The Lyman Water System's award reflects RUS's commitment to strengthening essential water infrastructure in rural areas, with funds to be managed according to federal compliance requirements including audit and record-keeping obligations under 2 CFR 200.
