Lebanon is getting $6.6 million in federal money for a sewer-line replacement project that will accommodate 7,000 residents in the town’s Amston Lake region, authorities say.
The $5.1 million loan and $1.45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will pay for low pressure sewer lines and pumps in residences around the lake, officials said.
The lines and pumps are designed to operate in the event of a prolonged power outage, they said.
The USDA’s Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant programs promote economic stability for communities, businesses, and farmers in the nation’s rural areas.
