Altoona council approves State Revolving Fund application and EID for planned water treatment plant
Summary
The council unanimously adopted a resolution to pursue State Revolving Fund financing and made the Environmental Information Document available as part of the application process for a new water treatment plant and related improvements.
The Altoona City Council adopted a resolution July 7 approving submission of a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan application and the associated Environmental Information Document (EID) for a proposed new water treatment plant and other water-system improvements.
Public Utilities Director Dan Scott opened a required public hearing explaining that the hearing and EID disclosure are steps in the SRF application process. Scott said the SRF loan is being pursued to fund the new treatment plant and associated improvements and that the EID materials were made available for public review; no members of the public came forward to comment during the hearing.
Council then voted to approve the SRF resolution by roll call. The vote was recorded as unanimous; staff will proceed with the application and the environmental review as described in the EID. The resolution authorizes city staff to continue necessary project-level steps tied to the SRF application process; project funding details and final loan terms were not specified at the meeting.
