Vance County and the city of Henderson are on Tuesday’s agenda for assistance financing two water-related projects totalling close to $2 million.
The Local Government Commission is set to review more than $335 million in financing requests at its Sept. 10 meeting, according to a press release.
Vance County is asking for $1.6 million in U.S. Dept. of Agriculture revenue bonds to install 23.6 miles of water main lines to extend service to Kittrell Township for about 210 new connections, and also to refurbish Kittrell’s 100,000-gallon elevated water tank.
The city of Henderson is one of 16 municipalities from across the state set to be considered for loan approval from the State Revolving Fund to pay for surveys of lead water lines.
If approved, Henderson would get $400,000 to conduct the survey, which is required by the EPA and NC Dept. of Environmental Quality.
The inventory will show where lead water lines are located in anticipation of replacing them to protect public health, according to information from the LGA.
The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. in Raleigh at the Dept. of the State Treasurer, 3200 Atlantic Ave. Register to view the meeting online at https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1960354907250441814
