City will evaluate drinking water system improvements
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JULY 1, 2024 - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $37,500 Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant to the city of Slater to evaluate its drinking water system.
Through its Drinking Water Engineering Report Grant program, the department offers funding to qualified communities to help cover costs of evaluating public drinking water system improvements. Slater will use the funding to identify any needed improvements to continue providing reliable service to its customers and to meet drinking water quality standards.
Every thriving community relies on its drinking water system to support its health and economic vitality. Not only will this help the community determine how best to address current drinking water needs, but to plan for the future as well.
The department is committed to assisting Missouri communities with water and wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. Through its Financial Assistance Center, the department provides funding opportunities for qualified communities with water quality, wastewater and drinking water infrastructure needs. This project will be funded wholly or in part with monies received from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
