ATTENTION GALENA WATER CUSTOMERS
Beginning in December 2021, the City will be completing a water project including the construction of approximately 3,600 linear feet of new 10-inc PVC water main, adding approximately 9 pressure reducing valve stations and abandoning 5 existing pressure reducing stations, as well as installing 17 individual property pressure reducing valves.
The total project is estimated to cost $1,435,991.47 and is being financed with 30-year 0.83% loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Public Water Supply Loan Program (PWSLP). The City will also be securing $400,000 in principal loan forgiveness from IEPA. The final loan amount the City will have to pay back is estimated at $1,035,992.00.
The Public Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). A portion of the IEPA money to fund these types of projects comes from the US Environmental Protection Agency. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities with the resources to build, maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects one of our most valuable resources: water.
The project will provide improved water service and water quality to the City’s water distribution system.
