Congressman Peter DeFazio (OR-04) today announced that the city of Sweet Home would receive $30,056,061 to help its wastewater treatment plant achieve Clean Water Act compliance.
“Clean water is a basic, human right,” said Rep. DeFazio. “With this funding, the city of Sweet Home will be able to bring their wastewater treatment plant into compliance with Clean Water Act standards. I’m proud to help secure funding to enhance water infrastructure and better health in our community.”
"The City of Sweet Home is honored and grateful to be selected for this funding which will benefit our community for generations to come,” said Sweet Home Mayor Greg Mahler. “This funding will ensure we meet the compliance standards that protect our natural resources' future."
This funding comes from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Water State Revolving Fund program, a federal-state partnership that provides communities low-cost financing for a wide range of water quality infrastructure projects.
