Aumsville council approves $9 million interim loan agreement for wastewater plant construction
Summary
The Aumsville City Council authorized the city administrator to execute a $9 million interim loan agreement through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to support construction of a long-planned wastewater treatment plant; the loan is part of a larger USDA package that includes a $6 million grant.
The Aumsville City Council authorized the city administrator to execute a $9 million interim loan agreement through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to support construction of a long‑planned wastewater treatment plant. The council called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. and approved the motion by voice vote.
A staff member told the council the project has been in development for several years and the interim loan will provide construction‑phase financing before longer‑term USDA funding is finalized. “As council knows, we’ve been working on our improvement to our wastewater treatment facility for several years now,” the staff member said, describing DEEQ’s draft contract and the need for city attorney review before final execution.
The staff member said the project is expected to be funded in total by a USDA package of about $15 million, with roughly $6 million as a grant and $9 million as a loan; DEEQ would provide interim payments during construction and the debt would transfer to USDA afterward. A council member moved to direct the city administrator to execute the loan agreement for $9 million; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The council previously authorized staff to issue a request for proposals for the construction phase and said it expected to return with a recommended contractor once the procurement process is complete. The motion directed the city administrator to take necessary legal and contractual actions to obtain the loan.
