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
