Town Receives Over $9 MM in Grants
The effort to improve the Silt Water Treatment Plant this week received a big boost when an agency of Colorado government voted unanimously to approve Bilateral Infrastructure Law (BIL) “principal forgiveness” (basically a grant) in the amount of $6.645 MM to the project.
The Colorado Water Resources and Power Development Authority Board (WRPDA) also voted to fund an $2 MM in additional grants as part of their base program. With the $300,000 the Board granted the Town for design and engineering in June and the $450,000 received from the Garfield County Federal Mineral Lease District earlier this year, the Town has reduced the amount of what it must borrow for the project by $9.395 MM.
The WRPDA also voted to approve $4 MM in BIL and $14 MM in base loans for the Town, $3 MM at a reduced interest rate of 3%. The remainder will be loaned at what the bond market will bear, thought to be around 3.3%.
How does this impact water rates?
Water rates will be the major topic of conversation between Trustees at the Monday, August 28 Board Meeting, beginning at 7 PM. The Board will also discuss construction cost trends, the budget as it now stands for the project, as well as a tentative construction schedule.
The plant has exceed its expected useful life and does not have the capacity to serve the growing community.
More information can be found at www.townofsilt.org on the home page, lower left-hand corner under the button titled “Water Treatment Plant Planning Documents and Information”.
The meeting on Monday, August 28 will begin at 7 PM at Silt Town Hall.
