Grants for sewer repairs

From Feb. 3-24, the City plans to accept grant applications to help pay for repairing failing private sewer pipes and connections to the public sewer. Homeowners can receive grants between $5,000 to $10,000 and may need a match to receive the funds. Funding will be awarded on a lottery-based system. This year's funding is expected to provide grants to 32-38 property owners. You can look at information now to get ready with bids and then apply when applications open.
