Village notified of $2.4M congressional funding; board discusses lead-line inventory and water-tower controls
Summary
The Village of Cerro Gordo learned it was selected to receive $2.4 million in FY27 Community Project Funding for water-main and treatment-plant upgrades; the board also reported receiving $15,000 for a lead-service-line inventory and discussed tank-control work.
The Village of Cerro Gordo was selected to receive $2.4 million from Congressman Budzinski’s FY27 Community Project Funding for replacement of water main and treatment-plant infrastructure upgrades, the board was told at its April 20 meeting. Officials said the village will be notified later in the summer of the exact award amount once the amount appears on the congressional budget.
Clerk Kelley Morrison reported the village has already received the first $15,000 for a Lead Service Line Inventory grant; DPW Mark Blickensderfer said the goal this year is to update three to five service lines and that approximately 12 to 15 lines may ultimately need replacement. Blickensderfer also reported progress on water-tower control work after meeting with Andy Hanfland and said additional funds from Congressman Budzinski’s office would be helpful.
Board discussion focused on sequencing projects and preparing paperwork for future reimbursements; the MFT paperwork for street work was also signed to prepare for related bid solicitations this year.
