The Environmental Protection Agency has honored a local water district with an Honorable Mention Award for recent Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Drinking Water Programs. Kansas’s Public Wholesale Water Supply District Number 25 received an Honorable Mention for its new Regional water infrastructure projects. The District was formed in 2006 when two rural Kansas water districts combined and it includes Douglas, Franklin and Osage Counties. In 2015 they identified current and long-term water availability issues.
The project received over $22 million from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment State Revolving Loan Fund for three well fields, a water-softening treatment plant, main transmission lines, a pump station and storage.
