Waste disposal grants - regular

The Town of Waterloo received a $2,150,000 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) on June 11, 2024. The grant funding will be used to construct, upgrade, or repair drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure in the rural community. This aligns with the program's objective of ensuring reasonable user costs for water and waste services in financially needy rural areas. The Town of Waterloo has a history of securing similar grants from this program, including a $2.35 million award in July 2021 for related water and waste infrastructure improvements. The diverse range of grant-funded projects demonstrates the town's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its rural residents through critical infrastructure development.
