The Princeton Water and Wastewater Commission has received a grant from the Delta Regional Authority Strategic Planning Program to go toward updating the plan for a wastewater treatment plant.
According to a news release, the $130,000 in funding was secured with assistance from the Pennyrile Area Development District and aims to support communities by promoting problem-solving, enhancing resilience and building partnerships. The purpose of the Princeton Waste and Wastewater Commission’s project is to update the 201 Facilities Plan, as well as prepare other preliminary engineering work such as the survey, geotechnical investigation, environmental, and initial design to prepare for future funding opportunities.
PADD staff work in conjunction with area utility managers and personnel to assess the needs and water resources potential in the region. The goal is to provide the needed infrastructure to ensure the future well-being and continued growth of the communities of the Pennyrile district.
Commission Superintendent James Noel says, “Preparation is the key to maintaining a quality infrastructure system. The Princeton Water & Wastewater Commission is appreciative of this funding which ensures our system is equipped and prepared for future enhancements.”
