Belpre outlines multiple grant applications, OPWC road request denied

Dec 9, 2024

City officials reported a slate of grant applications — an EPA lead-line survey (due Dec. 20), emergency generator and water-loss grants — and said an OPWC roads matching request would not be funded; accepting it would have required $420,000 in local matching funds.

The full story

At the Dec. 9 Belpre City Council meeting, Mayor Abdella summarized active grant work including an EPA lead line survey (the city received an acknowledgement form and the work is required by year end), an emergency generator grant, a source-water protection grant, a well-abandonment grant, and a water-audit/water-loss-control grant. She said the EPA submission is due Dec. 20 and warned the council the survey will require substantial staff work.
