City Of Malta

City Of Malta, a city government entity headquartered in Malta, Montana, receives federal funding exclusively as a sub-recipient of EPA-backed environmental infrastructure grants, with no prime contracting or IDV participation. All five federal awards in the source record are sub-awards under grants administered by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, positioning the city as a recipient of environmental engineering and water-system improvement funding rather than a federal contractor.

The city's federal activity centers on drinking-water system upgrades. Recent sub-awards include an engineering loan from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (awarded December 2024) to address high manganese concentrations in two of four municipal wells through greensand manganese pressure filtration; a replacement project for 2,200 feet of 8-inch HDPE force main under the Milk River (August 2024); and a levee feasibility study (April 2022). All work flows through the Montana Department of Environmental Quality as the prime grantee, with EPA Region 8 accounting for two of the named awards in the source record.

Activity is sparse and sporadic — one award in 2016, one in 2020, one in 2022, and two in 2024 — with combined dollars obligated across all five awards totaling $443 thousand over an eight-year observation window. The city has worked with a single customer agency (EPA Region 8) and serves as a sub-recipient exclusively. City Of Malta does not hold federal contracts, sit on government-wide vehicles, or operate as a prime recipient on federal grants; the entity's federal footprint is limited to pass-through environmental infrastructure funding administered through the state environmental-quality department.
