BOISE – The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) today announced the award of a $22,500 planning grant to the city of Teton in Franklin County, Idaho.
The funding will be used to prepare a drinking water planning study and evaluate the system to identify needed improvements. The total project cost is $45,000 and the remaining $22,500 will be funded by the city.
DEQ’s Planning Grant Program provides assistance to eligible wastewater and drinking water systems. These grants are used to develop engineering reports identifying the most cost-effective, environmentally sound method of upgrading a system to achieve and maintain compliance with state and federal standards. Grants cover up to 50% of eligible planning costs, with the remaining cost is the grant recipient’s responsibility.
