BOISE – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) today awarded $10,000 in drinking water construction funding to Northside Water Users Association in Bonner County, Idaho.
The funding will be used to conduct an Optimal Corrosion Control Treatment Recommendation, which will identify the most effective treatment to reduce lead and copper levels in the drinking water.
The funding from DEQ’s State Revolving Loan Fund is capitalized annually by grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The funding has no repayment obligation and represents a $19,857 savings to the community when compared to average costs for municipal general obligation debt issuances.
