RE: Resolutions for Federal and State Funds
Wastewater Treatment Plant
FROM: John L. Hunter, Superintendent of Utilities
Y„
For several years an attempt has been made to secure Federal
and State Funds for various sizeable improvements at the Waste-
water Treatment Plant. The improvements are necessary because
of the Water Quality Standards set forth by the Indiana Stream
Pollution Control Board in cooperation with the Federal
Government.
Our estimated total project cost for our application sub-
` mitted .in -1968 was $3,343,000. Due to updating increases in
construction costs and the addition of phosphate removal, the
new estimated project cost is $5,309 ,000.
This, naturally, increases our Federal and State Grant re-
quests. We are requesting $2,654,500 from the Federal Government
and $1,327 ,250 from the State Government.
We will be happy to fill you in with further details, but. I
am sure all of you are familiar with our other attempts to secure
these funds. We will be pleased to answer further questions at
your Caucus-Meeting on March 24, 1969 , or at the Public Hearing.
