I’ll continue to do all I can to?ensure every community in Oregon and across the nation has reliable water sanitation by addressing outdated water infrastructure.”? The federal investment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will include construction to improve wastewater treatment, and upgrades of the city's wastewater collection system. The federal funds are through the Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants program and the Solid Waste Management Grants program. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
