Dayton to receive $1.75 million state grant for wellhead treatment plant, staff says
Summary
City staff told council that Dayton will receive a $1,750,000 state grant toward a wellhead treatment plant; a related $4 million federal grant is still pending and would come with reimbursement-based rules, staff said.
At the council meeting on Sept. 24, Speaker 6 reported that Dayton will receive a $1,750,000 state grant for the wellhead treatment plant, and that the funds should arrive in the city’s account imminently.
“We did receive a confirmation that we will receive the $1,750,000 state grant,” Speaker 6 said, adding staff expected notification and deposit to occur shortly. He cautioned that a related $4,000,000 federal grant is not yet confirmed; staff described that federal grant funds would reimburse ongoing water-treatment expenses over time rather than arrive as a single lump sum.
Speaker 6 and others explained that the grants are written to reimburse treatment activities (for example, chemical treatment) and that the city will need to coordinate project timing so it can claim eligible reimbursements. Staff noted the federal grant conditions and timing could affect whether the council chooses to move forward with project phases.
What’s next: Staff will continue to track federal-grant confirmation and advise council on timing and reimbursement rules for project implementation and cashflow.
