Potential Sewer
Project Survey
Residents of Steward,
The village
has been made aware of some grants that
could potentially cover the cost of planning
for and installing a sewer system in the
village, which would eliminate the need
for a private septic system at each residence.
We would like to gauge the interest of
the residents in pursuing this project.
Here is what
we know:
The village would have to pay $5000 to
have a planning grant written. If we meet
the criteria, this grant could be up to
$30,000 which may cover 100% of the planning
costs.
Next, a construction
grant will be written. If we meet the
criteria, this grant could be up to $5
million which may cover 100% of construction
costs, including hook up to individual
homes.
We have requested
the criteria needed to qualify but have
not received this information at this
time.
If the grants
do not cover 100% of the planning and
construction costs, the village would
apply for low interest and/or forgivable
loans to cover the remaining costs.
Once operational,
there would be a monthly fee for sewer
in addition to individual water bills.
