ARC water & waste grants

The Village of Bowerston in Ohio received a $250,000 Project Grant award on November 8, 2025 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). The grant funding will support critical water infrastructure development and improvement projects in the rural community, including drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure. The primary objectives are to ensure reasonable user costs, enhance service quality and reliability, and support the financially needy rural community in maintaining essential water and waste management services. The Village of Bowerston has a demonstrated track record of securing significant federal grant awards from the USDA Rural Utilities Service to enhance water-related infrastructure for its rural residents, businesses, and community users.
