Domestic water grants - regular

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded a $153,000 Project Grant under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) to New Salem Township in Illinois. The grant funding will be used to develop and improve water infrastructure in the financially needy rural community, with the primary objective of ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents, businesses, and other rural users. The project will support the construction, upgrade, and repair of drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure in the township. This federal grant award demonstrates the program's pattern of providing substantial funding across various rural locations to enhance the quality and reliability of essential water and waste services in rural communities.
