Waste disposal grants - regular

The City of Ida Grove received a $1.0 million Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The award, dated June 30, 2025, supports critical water and waste disposal infrastructure improvements for this rural Iowa community. Under this program, RUS provides financial assistance to ensure rural communities can maintain essential water infrastructure services at reasonable costs to residents and businesses while prioritizing economically disadvantaged areas with population, income, unemployment, and sanitation considerations.

The funding enables the City of Ida Grove to develop or enhance water infrastructure systems, which may include drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, or related stormwater infrastructure. The project completion date of June 30, 2025 reflects a performance period typical of RUS infrastructure awards. As the recipient of federal funds exceeding $750,000, the City of Ida Grove is subject to single audit requirements under 2 CFR 200 and must maintain comprehensive records to ensure funds are used for authorized purposes in accordance with federal regulations.
