Public Comment
-
Discussion about whether or not any federal funds available for water/ sewer work from Covid relief or other recent bills
-
Not 100% sure but understanding is most covid funding was focused on safety and transportation
-
Some funding for water/sewer from infrastructure bill, gets delivered through state revolving funds
-
A lot of transportation funds available, federal govt trying to figure out how to spend it. Should look into available applications
