Sewer dept.
gets $1.5M
PUTNAM — The Water Pollution Control Authority will receive a total of $1.5 million for work on the town’s sewer system.
It is part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program.
The Town of Putnam has been selected to receive a total of $1.5 million —a Water and Waste Disposal Direct Loan in the amount of $1,195,000 and Water and Waste Disposal Grant in the amount of $305,000.
This Rural Development Investment will be used to replace the existing unreliable generator with two new units; one outside storage building to provide backup power for the administration building and the primary treatment processes and the other to be located outside the existing blower building and secondary treatment processes.
The project will also include construction of a new 50-foot x 100-foot pre-engineered steel-fabricated storage building with an indoor truck wash area, with accompanying drainage collection, oil/water separator instillation and discharge to the entrance of the waste water treatment plant for treatment.
