Summary
The commission approved reallocating Cleaner Water ARPA funds ($959,638) plus a $615,362 local match for a total $1,575,000 package to rehabilitate the Mox Creek/Bergen Road sanitary sewer pump station, covering wet-well, valve vault and concrete repairs.
The Danville City Commission on March 9 approved reallocating cleaner-water ARPA funds and a local match to rehabilitate the Mox Creek (Bergen Road) sanitary sewer pump station.
Mr. Currier described an available $959,638 in Cleaner Water ARPA grant funds and a required local match of $615,362, for a combined funding pool of $1,575,000 to support wet-well and valve-vault rehabilitation, concrete repairs and related site work. "This will allow proper sanitary sewer conditions for the public regarding future anticipated additional flow into the Mox Creek Sanitary Sewer Pump Station," Currier said, noting the money was previously directed to a water-line project but was eligible for reallocation with county approval.
Staff said the money came from a county-designated ARPA allocation (Cleaner Water, Round 2) and that the city has set aside the local match in the capital budget. The project had been bid in December 2024 but lacked available funding at that time.
A motion to approve resolution 2026030904 to reallocate the funds and proceed with the pump station rehabilitation was made, seconded and approved by the commission.
Next steps: with funding authorized, staff will proceed to award or re-award the previously bid contract (subject to procurement rules and contract administration) and move forward with design and rehabilitation work. The city will coordinate with Mercer County and the sanitary district as needed to align upgrades.
