We work really closely with lots of cities and towns in Montana, especially the ones that have a limited tax base that can't afford to pay for things like this on their own

    Excerpt:
    “10,800 feet of subterranean water lines are being added to improve water and waste disposal systems. The old lines, made of cast-iron are being replaced with 8-inch PVC piping which will help reduce the number of sewage back flow events.
    Much of Choteau’s piping has been around since the early 20th century. Funding for the installation of pipes was secured in-part by the USDA who secured $618,000 and $2,000,0000 in loans followed by grants of $398,000 and $1,042,000. The rest of the funding was secured by applicant contribution, American Rescue Plan accounts (ARPA), and the Renewable Resource Grant and Loan Program (RRGL).
    The installation of pipes is just the first of a two-phase project. The second phase of the project is the installation of a brand-new water storage tank. The new tank will hold up to 1 million gallons. The city previously relied on two separate tanks which hold 750,000 gallons between them.”
