FRANKFORT, Ky. — Financial assistance will be given to at least seven drinking water systems in Kentucky to improve their technical, managerial and financial capabilities, according to WFIE News.
The aid will be given to small systems that serve less than 10,000 customers to improve drinking water standards in a cost effective way, stated the article.
“Many small water treatment facilities are at a disadvantage because of their budget and personnel limitations, yet they face the same challenges as larger plants that have more money and specialized staff,” said Julie Smoak, supervisor of the DOW Drinking Water Capacity Development Section. “The goal of this funding program is to allow the smaller plants to complete critical, but non-regulatory projects they might not be able to pursue otherwise.”
