Waste disposal grants - regular

The Town of Manville, Wyoming received a $5.32 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) on June 27, 2025. This grant provides financial assistance to support water infrastructure development and improvement projects within the municipality, which may encompass drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure improvements. The funding is designed to ensure reasonable user costs for rural residents and businesses while enhancing service quality and reliability in this rural community.

Under this federal grant program, the RUS prioritizes assistance toward financially needy rural communities, with funding decisions based on population demographics, income levels, unemployment rates, and health and sanitary conditions. The Town of Manville is required to maintain comprehensive records and accounts to ensure the $5.32 million in federal funds is used exclusively for authorized project purposes in accordance with federal regulations. Given the substantial funding amount exceeding $750,000, the municipality will be subject to single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200 to ensure proper stewardship and utilization of federal resources.
