Local communities in Idaho will be better able to quickly apply for and execute new upgrades to wastewater and drinking water systems in the coming years after Governor Brad Little directed funds to cover additional grants for their engineering and planning costs.
Governor Little announced Friday he directed $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to administer additional planning grants to local communities.
The Governor says – these new planning grants help ensure communities across Idaho are in the best position possible to significantly upgrade the water systems we rely on.
