(Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 13, 2010) - E.P.A. has awarded $146,000 to Spencer, Iowa, for ongoing planning and design for a multi-phased combined sewer separation project.
E.P.A. Region seven Acting Regional Administrator William Rice said, "EPA is proud to award these water infrastructure funds which will help to protect water quality and reduce the risk of public exposure to untreated sewage."
In 2008, the City of Spencer signed a consent order with E.P.A. to reduce or eliminate its combined sewer overflows into the Little Sioux River. The city has retained an engineer to perform planning and design of this plan that will meet requirements outlined in the E.P.A. consent order.
E.P.A. oversees the protection of water quality and public health. The Agency is working with community leaders and the public to meet the growing needs and demands of our limited water resources. E.P.A. remains committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions for managing and financing infrastructure with public and private partners.
