Lyon County commissioners had a full morning today during their weekly study session in which they learned about Lyon County Rural Water District No. 1’s plan to apply for a Community Development Block Grant for district improvements.
Bruce Boettcher of BG Consultants Inc. said the water district was seeking Lyon County Commission sponsorship in the application, which is for $500,000 with a $751,000 match by the water district. The water district is seeking the funding for improvements to the district which include improvements to the booster station by the Kansas Turnpike and upgrading the Neosho River boar, new mixing unit in the tower in Americus and water line replacement in the City of Americus and a boar underneath the turnpike.
Boettcher said the grant is due in September with awarding of the grant to occur in January, if the water district is selected.
