Moose Lake staff to pursue NPCA wastewater‑resilience grant for sewer lining; 10% match required
Summary
City staff told council they will apply for the NPCA FY25 Wastewater Resilience grant (program total $10M, max award $1.5M) to support a sewer‑lining project; the application would require a 10% local match to come from the sewer fund capital budget.
City staff notified the Moose Lake City Council Sept. 11 that they will pursue the NPCA FY25 Wastewater Resilience grant to fund sewer‑system repairs.
Staff said the NPCA program has $10 million available, a $1.5 million maximum award per project and a 10% local match requirement. The staff presentation identified lining the city’s aging clay sewer mains as an aligned project for the grant application and said the sewer fund capital budget could supply the 10% match if the award is received.
The council heard that the city has a ‘‘great story’’ for the application given state facilities within the city limits and aging infrastructure. Staff will continue preparing the application with the city engineer and report back to the council on next steps and any required commitments should the city be invited to apply.
Council members did not take a vote but were alerted to the opportunity and the match requirement.
Because the application deadlines and scoring details were not included in the meeting record, the city’s next steps are to finalize the project scope, confirm match sources and pursue the formal grant application process.
