$80,000 award to support Maryville water systems
The city of Maryville, Missouri, has a new $80,000 grant to evaluate its wastewater, stormwater and drinking water systems.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Clean Water Integrated Management Plan Grant program offers funding to assist small- and medium-sized communities with capital planning and engineering costs of developing an integrated water management plan.
The city will use the grant to develop a comprehensive plan by February 2027 to prioritize improvements to continue reliable service to the area, meet permit requirements and to better manage stormwater. The plan will also evaluate drinking water issues, lead service line replacement projects and substance sampling.
'Reliable water and wastewater infrastructure is essential for the sustainability of communities and industries, as well as for the quality of life for all Missourians,' said Kurt Schaefer, director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
