The federal Project Grant award of $316,000 was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The award was granted to the Webb Creek Utility District, a non-profit organization in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, on March 17, 2025. The funding supports critical water infrastructure development and improvement projects in the rural Tennessee region, including the construction, upgrade, and repair of drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure. The grant aims to ensure reasonable user costs for rural residents and enhance the quality and reliability of essential water and waste services in financially constrained rural areas, demonstrating a commitment to improving community infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
