Domestic water grants - regular

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded a $3,600,000 Project Grant to the City of Leadwood, Missouri under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The funding will support critical water infrastructure improvements for the city, including developing drinking water systems, upgrading wastewater treatment facilities, and modernizing stormwater infrastructure. The grant aims to address long-standing issues such as low water pressure, system leaks, and water quality concerns to enhance service reliability and quality for local residents and businesses. An additional $251,671.85 sub-grant from the Delta Regional Authority will further support water distribution system enhancements. This federal funding represents a significant investment in upgrading Leadwood's aging 80+ year old water system to meet the community's essential water and waste management needs.
