Municipalities throughout the state will be able to apply for funding through the state’s Water Infrastructure Improvement and Intermunicipal Grant programs
Grant comes from the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, which supports hazard mitigation projects that seek to reduce risks from natural disasters
Money will help remediate the 116-year-old Thomson Reservoir, a $36 million cleanup effort to protect public health from contaminants left behind by decades of industrial pollution
Funds, available through the Bureau of Indian Affairs are part of an ongoing effort to help tribes make critical infrastructure improvements nationwide
