Domestic water grants - regular

The City of Vermillion in Kansas received a $1,126,000 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 September 14, 2023, will support the provision of water and waste services to financially needy rural communities in Kansas, with the goal of ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents and businesses. Previously, in June 2022, the city received a $661,000 project grant from the same program to support similar water and waste disposal services for financially needy rural communities in the state. Additionally, the City of Vermillion has served as a sub-grantee for a project to replace approximately 3 miles of distribution pipes with excessive manganese coatings, as well as associated valves, fire hydrants, and service lines.
